Government COVID-19 economic plan would see families receive NIS 2,000-3,000
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Finance Ministry and National Economic Council are fighting over a plan to give stipends to Israeli families amid the pandemic, says a TV report.
According to Channel 13, the National Economic Council’s Avi Simhon is preparing a NIS 6 billion plan ($1.75 billion), which would be distributed to Israeli households.
It envisions that couples with one child will receive a one-time payment of NIS 2,000 ($583), which rises to NIS 2,500 ($729) for those with two children, and NIS 3,000 ($875) for those with three or more. Households without children will receive NIS 750 ($218), the report says.
But the Finance Ministry is staunchly against the plan, the report says.
