Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The National Insurance Law (New Coronavirus – Temporary Provision – Amendment No. 216) (Special Provisions Regarding Unemployment Insurance), 2020 established, as a temporary provision, special relief provisions regarding the payment of unemployment benefits, intended to broaden eligibility for unemployment benefits. Among other things, the Law enables unemployment benefits to be granted to an employee who was dismissed and also to an employee who was placed on unpaid leave for a period of at least 30 days, until 16 August 2020, and also enables the continued payment, until that date, of unemployment benefits to a person who has already exhausted the days of unemployment benefits available to them. The Law also includes provisions enabling the payment of unemployment benefits despite failure to comply with registration obligations at the employment service. In addition, the Law establishes provisions enabling the payment of unemployment benefits concurrently with other benefits, and provides that, for the purposes of the income tests regarding senior citizen and survivor benefits, disability benefits, income support benefits and alimony payments from the National Insurance Institute, the income deduction rules ("disregard") that apply to income from employment or from an occupation shall apply to unemployment benefits.
