Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - תשלום קצבת ילדים לאחר גיל 18 בעד ילד המשרת בשירות צבאי, לאומי או אזרחי)
TL;DRA proposal to extend payment of the child allowance after age 18 as long as the child is serving in military, national or civic service.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal requires payment of the child allowance even after the child turns 18, provided they are serving in regular service as defined in the Discharged Soldiers Absorption Law. The amendment is intended to ease the economic burden on parents whose children serve in the army or in national/civic service, on the assumption that serving soldiers have a low salary that is not enough to support themselves, and the parents bear their expenses. The proposal recognizes that these services are important values of the state and that it is right to ease the economic burden placed on families during this period.
