Relaxations to conditions of entitlement to the grant for discharged soldiers employed in a preferred work

You will be able to work in preferred job within 3 years from the date of discharge

Those discharged from regular military service during the period from 1.1.19 to 31.12.20 – will be able to accrue the 6 months of preferred work performed within 3 years from the date of discharged, instead of 2 years as prescribed until now.

You do not have to be entitled to unemployment benefits even during the second year following the discharge

Before the amendment of the law, a discharged soldier who began a preferred work for the first time within the first year of discharge was not required to be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Now, as a result of the Corona crisis, anyone who was discharged from regular military service during the period from 1.1.20 to 31.12.20 – is not required to be entitled to unemployment benefits, even if he or she began essential work for the first time in the second year after discharge.
If you start an essential work for the first time in the third year, you must be entitled to unemployment benefits from the starting day of work.
