Question
Hello. One of my family members will soon be eligible for a free travel pass on buses and trains, and at work, they reimburse travel expenses. Is he required to inform the employer about this? Previously, I asked here about the Rav-Kav card, whether I can register as a student and receive discounts on public transportation even though I will not be studying at all. I received an answer that it's okay and there's no problem doing this.
Answer
Hello
A. You must inform the employer about the discount.
B. It is forbidden to declare yourself as a student when you have not enrolled in studies, but if you have paid for a course that grants you the right to study, you are entitled to a student discount. Even if you do not actually exercise your right and do not attend the course you purchased.
