Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Bill (Amendment – Expansion of Eligibility for Service Without Waiting in Line), 5783-2022

The bill expands the eligibility to receive service without waiting in line. Currently, this right is granted only to those entitled to a special services benefit under the National Insurance Law. The proposal seeks to extend this right to individuals who are not entitled to this benefit but have difficulty waiting in line due to their disability and medical condition, provided that their income does not exceed a certain amount set by law. The exact amount of the permitted income is not specified in this proposal, but it refers to the amount set in the National Insurance regulations regarding special services.
