Official summary of the law (Knesset)

In the National Insurance Law (Amendment No. 196), 2017, the definition of "child" for the purpose of dependents' benefits for victims of work injuries was expanded, so that the definition would also include students aged 18 to 20 studying at post-secondary educational institutions, such as institutions of higher education, vocational training institutions, yeshivas and pre-military academies, in a scope of not less than 20 weekly hours. The expansion of the definition of child, both regarding the survivors' benefit (made in a previous amendment to the law) and regarding the dependents' benefit for victims of work injuries (made in this amendment), required several additional adjustments to the National Insurance Law. Among other things, the sections concerning the authority of the Minister of Labor, Welfare and Social Services to set by regulations maintenance allowances and diagnostic expenses for an orphan were amended. In addition, an adjustment was made to the definition of widower for the purpose of Section D of Chapter 11, so that it would also include a widower who has a child according to the expanded definition.
