Attorney Eli Maor, who specializes in medical malpractice claims after stillbirth, writes about the ways to realize rights after stillbirth. He explains that women who have a stillbirth from week 22 and a day may be eligible for maternity benefits, birth grants, and hospitalization funding from the National Insurance Institute, subject to conditions such as cessation of work and insurance period. Maor emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the maternity and parenthood period and maternity benefits, and recommends checking personal eligibility according to the exact week of pregnancy and work data. He suggests that family members assist with bureaucracy while maintaining clear boundaries, such as consolidating tracking in one folder, and separating general information gathering from acting on behalf of the mother.
