Absorption of Discharged Soldiers Law (Amendment – Eligibility of Israel Defense Forces Servicemembers for the "Mimadim Lelimudim" Fund) Bill

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Discharged Soldiers Absorption Law (1994) in three ways: (1) it requires funding of 100% of annual tuition for combat soldiers in each year of study; (2) it extends benefits under the Meimadim program to combat support soldiers at a rate of 70% of tuition; (3) it includes additional soldiers who do not serve as combat or combat support soldiers in benefits at a rate of 50% of tuition. The changes apply to those serving in the Israel Defense Forces, in security service or in combat support roles, in accordance with set conditions of service.
