National Insurance Law (Amendment – Reserve Duty Compensation for a Self-Employed Worker) (Temporary Provision – Swords of Iron) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הביטוח הלאומי (תיקון - תגמול מילואים לעובד עצמאי) (הוראת שעה - חרבות ברזל)

TL;DRA temporary bill to compensate self-employed workers in reserve service during the Iron Swords War, by changing the calculation basis to the highest income.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal changes the way reserve compensation is calculated for self-employed workers in the period that began on October 7, 2023 and until December 31, 2024. Instead of using the income of one quarter, the highest income from the two years preceding the reserve service will be used, or the income from which insurance contributions were calculated. The change is intended to reduce the economic damage to self-employed workers serving in the reserves during the war.
