National Insurance Law (Amendment – Payment of Disabled Child Benefit to a Foster Parent for a Child in Their Foster Care) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - תשלום גמלת ילד נכה לאומן בעד ילד הנמצא אצלו באומנה)
TL;DRA bill to supplement the National Insurance Law and the Foster Care for Children Law, so that the disabled child benefit will also be paid to foster carers caring for disabled children.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the National Insurance Law and the Foster Care for Children Law to allow the National Insurance Institute to pay the disabled child benefit directly to foster carers (foster families) caring for children with disabilities, instead of the payment being given only through the Ministry of Welfare. The proposal aims to remove a difference in financial support between children with disabilities growing up in their biological home (who receive a benefit from National Insurance) and those growing up in foster families, and to ensure that disabled children in foster care also receive the full benefit due to them.
