Roni, 19 year old from Tel-Aviv, came to a branch of the National Insurance Institute and asked to examine his eligibility for income support benefit, as a drug addict, will he be entitled to the benefit on this ground?


​The National Insurance Institute's officer will refer Roni to the "Haderech" association (Amuta) in the Central region. If he is diagnosed as an addict, he may be entitled to an income support benefit. If the diagnosis reveals that he is not addicted, he will be required to approach the Employment Service in order to search for a job.
