Report: Holiday stipends for families and elderly won’t be transferred until Passover

Holiday stipends for families and the elderly that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised earlier this week will not be transferred until the day Passover begins (next Wednesday), Channel 12 reports, saying that the Finance Ministry was unable to gather the funds in such a short window.

Netanyahu on Wednesday announced that families will receive a one-off payment of NIS 500 per child (approximately $140), up to the fourth child, ahead of the upcoming Passover holiday. There would also be stipends for the elderly, he said, without specifying the minimum age.
