Ma’aser – Disability Stipend

Question

Shalom uVracha,

I receive a monthly disability stipend from Bituach Leumi. Am I required to separate ma’aser from it?

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

If your financial situation is stable, meaning you are able to cover your monthly expenses, then you should separate ma’aser.
