Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The National Insurance Law [Consolidated Version], 1995 sets out eligibility for long-term care benefits. The benefit is given to an Israeli resident who has reached retirement age and has been found to require substantial assistance from others in performing daily activities or to require supervision, and is conditioned on income tests set under the Law. Under the National Insurance Law, the long-term care benefit is given as in-kind services, such as assistance at the insured person's home, attendance at a day center for the elderly, and an emergency call device. It is proposed to establish that the temporary provision set out in Amendment No. 147, under which an insured person who, together with a family member residing with them, receives long-term care services from a caregiver for most hours of the day, at least six days a week, may choose to receive the benefit in cash rather than in kind, shall become a permanent provision in the Law.
