Those who receive less than $1,000 from NIS should not be affected.

the minister said it was a computer glitch. He either lied or was misinformed by people in the social development ministry. He also said that just over 1000 people were affected. It's more like over 20,000 were affected. I heard about these plans a long time ago.
