Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the National Insurance Law so that a woman who was in reserve service during pregnancy will be considered insured for the purpose of eligibility for maternity allowance even if her reserve service ended during the pregnancy. Currently, reserve service is not considered a period that qualifies for maternity allowance, which may lead to loss of eligibility for women who stopped working to report for reserve duty while pregnant. The bill seeks to correct this gap in the law by expanding the definition of the qualifying date to include periods of reserve service that ended during pregnancy.
