Disabled Persons Law (Benefits and Rehabilitation) (Amendment – Establishing Additional Entitlements for Disabled Persons) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal adds a section to the Invalids (Pensions and Rehabilitation) Law authorizing the Minister of Defense, with the approval of the Knesset Labor and Welfare Committee, to set by regulation additional entitlements not set in the law or in the directives of the Rehabilitation Division. The regulations may address the expansion or modification of existing entitlements. The regulations will remain in force for a period of two years from the date of publication of the amended Invalids Law. The purpose of the amendment is to allow a temporary legislative response for entitlements not yet anchored in legislation, until all entitlements are fully anchored in law.
