Q&A’s

• How do I submit a claim to Bituach Leumi (Social Security)?

  You can easily file a claim on the Bituach Leumi website, and we have even prepared a short guide to help you. If you still want additional help, you must come to the Reserves Office with a photocopy of your student ID/study certificate, and confirmation of the reserves (3010). In addition, you must fill out a Bituach Leumi application form that can be found on the reserve website or the reserve office.

• For how many days can I submit a Reserves Coordination Committee and how?

  A Reserves Coordination Committee is to ask for the postponement or cancellation of a reserves service, and this request can be submitted on the order of a minimum of 6 reserve days. The request must be submitted at least 30 days before the start of the reserve.

• What documents must be submitted for the Reserves Coordination Committee?

  These are the documents that must be submitted:

  – Signature on the forms you received
  – Recommendations and their contact information
  – Work plan + event budget (including estimated schedule)
  – Green proposal
  – Sponsorship details
  – Presentations, explanatory materials about you, etc.

• Am I entitled to 2 Reserve points?

  If you performed 14 cumulative reserve days in an academic year, you are entitled to 2 points and they can be usued until the end of your degree.

• How do I get eligibility for a third term?

  Service of 10 consecutive reserve days during the semester or 21 cumulative reserve days during the semester, or 10 cumulative reserve days during the exam period, entitles you to a third exam term in all courses taken that semester. It is important to remember that you must go to one of the dates (a or b) first, that is – there are a total of two dates for you to choose from. If there is eligibility according to the reserve regulations – you must contact the reserve office and send a 3010 confirmation, which will be forwarded to the department’s secretariat. After that, you must contact the secretariat to submit an application for the third date.

• Who is eligible to receive a router? How can I order?

  If you are called up for 5 consecutive reserve days or more, there is an option to get a cellular router free of charge from the reserve office. The order is made through the reserve website, where the full procedure is detailed.
  After ordering, a confirmation will be sent to you by email. The router can be picked up and returned at the reserve office only by the person making the order. It will not be possible to pick up or return it by another person.

• Who is eligible for a summer course?

  Entitlement to a summer course subsidy is given to those who have performed more than 22 reserve days in the school year. 30 reserve days qualify for the subsidy of two summer courses.
  How do you get it? You must send to the reserve office a confirmation of the reserve days (3010) completed until the end of the exam period of the second semester, and fill out an application form.
  Important emphasis: the benefit is a full subsidy of a summer course, so if you are eligible for the benefit, you must register for the course when the registration period opens, but do not pay! No refunds will be given.

• When am I entitled to benefits? And when can it be used?

  Dean’s benefits (photographs, test booklets, tutoring, marathons) are given for days you missed classes (therefore Friday-Saturday and study breaks are not considered), and can be received until the last school day of the semester in which the reserves were made. The Student Union’s benefits are given for all reserve days that happened during the semester (therefore Friday-Saturday and study breaks are also considered here), and can be received until the end of the exam period of the semester in which the reserves were done.

• I did reserves, do I have the right to document scans and prints?

  For each reserve day performed at the expense of a academic day (therefore, Friday-Saturday and study breaks are not considered), you are entitled to 50 pages of photos/prints in “Photocopier” which will be given in the form of barcodes to be scanned in the crossprint application using which you print on the concessionaire’s printer throughout the university. Important, it is possible to accumulate days that qualify for the benefit only for the same semester in which they were performed. At the end of each semester, the accumulated days are reset and will not be able to be redeemed in the following semester, but photos and prints already loaded on the card will remain there until the end of the degree.
