Extending Job and Financial Protections to US Citizens Serving in Israeli Defense Forces.

This bill extends critical legal and financial safeguards, typically reserved for US military personnel, to US citizens serving in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). This means these individuals will gain the right to return to their civilian jobs after service and receive protections against eviction or high loan interest rates while serving. These changes apply to service performed after the law is enacted.
Key points
US citizens serving in the IDF will gain employment protection, including the guarantee of returning to their previous civilian job after their service ends (similar to USERRA rules).
They will also receive financial and legal protections (e.g., reduced loan interest rates, protection from certain legal proceedings) during their service, similar to those provided by the SCRA.
