The Department and the Fund for Liberated Soldiers in the Ministry of Defense, in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, have announced that they will continue to assist individual soldiers in the wake of the Corona crisis, and will grant a second bribe of a housing grant in the amount of NIS 4,000.

About 2,000 individual soldiers who were found eligible for the first-degree grant will receive additional assistance automatically on their account, without applying again. They will receive a total of NIS 8,000 in aid. 

Released individual soldiers who meet the criteria and did not exercise their eligibility on the first beat, will be able to receive the full amount into their account after submitting the relevant documents. As with the first beat, assistance will be given to each individual soldier in the first year of release, who holds a lease that is valid for the months of March, April and May 2020.

Both strokes are in addition to assistance of up to NIS 1,000 a month, if the few soldiers released under the law are eligible. 

Minister for Civil and Social Affairs in the Ministry of Defense, MK Michael Biton: "The group of lone soldiers will happen to our hearts. These are good, brave young people who have contributed their share and served the country. We will do everything we can to help them in their first year of absorbing citizenship and especially during the days of Corona. "
