חוק הטבות לניצולי שואה (תיקון מס' 8), התשע"ז-2016Law for Benefits for Holocaust Survivors (Amendment No. 8), 2016 · automatic translation · suggest a correction

Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Until this amendment, Section 3 of the Holocaust Survivors Benefits Law provided that from the amount of the allowance due to Holocaust survivors under the Law, the amount of the monthly allowance they receive under the 1992 agreement with Germany - an allowance known as the "Article 2 Fund allowance" - would be deducted. The amendment cancels the deduction obligation with regard to Holocaust survivors who have been determined to have a disability rating of more than 25% and who have no additional income. These are the same survivors who are entitled to income-based compensation and increased income-based compensation under the Law on Disabled Victims of Nazi Persecution. Accordingly, the amendment cancels, in the temporary provision of Amendment No. 5 to the Holocaust Survivors Benefits Law, a provision whereby the allowance paid under the agreement with Germany would be taken into account for the purpose of calculating the income of a person who receives an income support benefit.
