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 bill to change the calculation of reserve compensation for self-employed workers during the Iron Swords War, so that their compensation will not be harmed by a drop in income.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal changes the calculation basis for reserve compensation for self-employed workers in the period from October 7, 2023 until December 31, 2025. Instead of calculating the compensation based on actual income during the reserve period (which dropped due to absence), the average income for the calculation will be the higher of two options: income from the quarter preceding the reserves, or the highest income among the quarters in the two years preceding the reserves. This is to ensure that the drop in income due to reserve service will not affect the amount of compensation.
