Victims of Hostile Action (Pensions) Law (Amendment – Entitlement to Benefits and Compensation under Another Law) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק התגמולים לנפגעי פעולות איבה (תיקון - זכאות לתגמולים ולפיצויים לפי חוק אחר)

TL;DRThe proposal allows victims of hostile actions to receive benefits from National Insurance even when they receive compensation from another body for the same event.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Victims of Hostile Actions (Pensions) Law (1970) by adding a section allowing victims of hostile actions to receive benefits from National Insurance and compensation under another law for the same event, without having to return the benefits because of receiving compensation (except compensation from the State of Israel). Today, under the law, victims must return to National Insurance the benefits they receive in order to receive compensation from other bodies.
