Question
A person receiving an allowance from the National Insurance for a disabled child is entitled to certain benefits in various health funds. If the allowance is received through deceit, can they receive benefits from the health fund, since after all, the child is defined as disabled by the National Insurance and according to these definitions is entitled to benefits? And is there a difference between the funds, because, for example, Clalit Health Services claims it is not a private entity?! Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
In principle, a health fund is a private entity in every respect, although it provides services to the National Insurance and other governmental bodies.
Regarding your question, there are many details involved, and you should personally approach a rabbi and discuss the specifics of the case with him.
