Rabbi Ravitz Instructs Welfare Ministry to Advance NII Allotments

By G. Kleiman

Deputy Welfare Minister MK Rabbi Avrohom Ravitz told Yated Ne'eman that he directed Bituach Leumi officials to advance payment of insurance allotments as Pesach approaches in consideration of the special needs of families with limited means.

Payments scheduled for April 28th—allotments for the elderly and surviving relatives, the handicapped, handicapped children, special services, work disability and dependents, the immobilized, basic necessities (mezonot) and Guaranteed Income ("Havtachat Hachnasah")—will be moved up to 10 Nisan (Tuesday, April 19th). Children's Allowances will be paid as usual on April 20th (11 Nisan).

Bituach Leumi General Director Dr. Yigal Ben Shalom said that Bituach Leumi employees are following the directives issued by Rabbi Ravitz to execute payments according to the revised schedule in order to bring holiday joy to needy families.
