Article 5 of the Convention. Provision of benefits abroad. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to introduce the practical and legal arrangements to ensure the provision of benefits for persons who move their residence to a country with which Israel has not signed a bilateral agreement. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report concerning measures taken to provide more flexible conditions for the payment of old-age benefits abroad. The Committee notes, however, that the provision of survivors’ benefits abroad is limited in time and that employment injury benefits are payable abroad where there is a bilateral agreement between Israel and the country concerned. Recalling that Article 5 of the Convention requires member States to guarantee the payment of survivors’ and employment injury benefits due to its own nationals and to the nationals of the countries which have accepted the corresponding branches of the Convention when they reside abroad, the Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on measures taken to ensure full compliance with this Article of the Convention.

Article 6. Family benefit. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous request concerning the provision of family benefits.
