Social Security claims that this is due to the fact that emergency regulations have not yet been enacted • Budget cost - about NIS 2 billion

Two days ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to give NIS 500 before Passover for all families, for each child, up to four children up to the age of 18, and up to a maximum of NIS 2,000 per family.

On the same date, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the Passover gift of NIS 500 will be distributed to veterans, as well as the disabled, before the holiday.

Prior to the Sabbath, it became clear that Social Security Director Meir Spigler had announced to the Prime Minister's Office that the transfer of the corona following would not be passed on to seniors and families with children, because the government had not approved the emergency regulations, even if the government approved the regulations at the government meeting. On Saturday night and / or Sunday, the gift of Passover will not be possible before Passover for technological reasons.

The National Insurance Institute claims that the introduction of emergency regulations was the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance, when the treasury officials were quick and agile and leaked it first. Now they had no choice and the institution confirmed the news: "There are no regulations, where are the regulations." The budget cost of the Passover gift is estimated at NIS 2 billion.
