Consultations on rights and benefits in Israel

Characteristics

Description

Alex Fine: As you get older, you realize one simple thing: The most useful profession in Israel is not a doctor or a programmer. It is a person who knows what benefits, payments, and rights you are actually entitled to. Because sometimes it turns out that: — you are entitled to something, and you didn’t even know about it; — you can get money back, but nobody told you how; — there are rights at work that you have never used; — there are programs at Bituah Leumi that you only hear about by chance through acquaintances. And that has always surprised me. I recently learned that there are people who professionally help with all these questions: what a person is entitled to by law, what documents are needed, where to apply, and how not to miss anything. Chen is exactly involved in such things: helping with rights, benefits, documents, work-related questions, taxes, Bituah Leumi, and other bureaucratic matters. This is Chen's Facebook page: Chen Finkelshtein And it is not only new immigrants who contact her, but also native Israelis, because laws and rules change constantly, and it can be difficult to keep track of everything on your own. Have you ever found out that you were entitled to something, but learned about it too late? Or did you not know about your rights at all? I think many people have such stories.
