Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the National Insurance Law so that women serving in the reserves will be entitled to maternity allowance under new conditions. Today, reserve service is not considered a qualifying period for maternity allowance. The proposal provides that if a woman was in reserve service while pregnant, and she filed a claim for maternity allowance following the birth, her period of service will count toward her entitlement to the allowance. In this way a woman who reported for reserve duty for the good of the state during her pregnancy will not lose her entitlement to maternity allowance.
