Newborn Whose Mother Passed Away - Benefit rates

Special allowance at the rate of 30% of the average wage, which is NIS 2,586 (as of 01.01.2012) .

Special benefit at the rate of 75% of the average wage or average income of the spouse during the three months that preceded the date he stopped working, but no more than a maximum benefit per day as determined by law.

If an employee did not receive his full salary in the three months preceding the date on which he stopped working due to sick leave, reserve duty or any other reason beyond his control, and he has the relevant certification, the special benefit will be calculated on the basis of his full salary.

The special benefit will be paid only if the rate exceeds the rate of the special allowance per day, and the special allowance will not be paid at the same time that the special benefit is paid.
