Question
As part of the maternity package, there is an option to receive a reimbursement from the health fund for various things, and today there is a possibility to act as if we did these things and receive the money. The question is whether the health fund agrees to this unofficially? And even if it does not agree, perhaps it is permissible to take it because it is money intended for me, only I am acting in a way different from how they want me to receive it? I would appreciate an answer from the Gaon, Rabbi Fried, shlita, after he has seen the entire question, and if not, please tell me from which rabbinical court the answer was.
Answer
Hello,
One should not act contrary to the rules of the health fund, unless authorized by a competent authority from the fund.
