The National Insurance Institute, the government agency dedicated to assisting residents in avoiding financial distress due to factors beyond their control, regularly updates the public on benefit eligibility and distribution schedules.

In addition, the agency provides specific benefits to victims of hostile acts. According to the official website, disabled victims of hostile acts suffering from musculoskeletal, spinal, or orthopedic injuries are eligible for treatments at health spas. The treatment package includes sulfur pools, massage therapy, and mud wraps.

Eligibility covers the following:

  1. Treatments: Funding for health spa services. The number of treatments and approved days is determined based on the nature of the injury and the disability status.

  2. Lodging: Stays are approved at hotels from a fixed list with which the agency has signed agreements, in accordance with established quotas.

  3. Accompaniment: Eligibility for an escort during the treatment period may be granted, depending on the patient's age and injury type.

  4. Reimbursements: Compensation for travel expenses and loss of work days during the recuperation period. To receive reimbursement, individuals must contact the Hostile Acts Department at their local branch or apply directly via the website.

In parallel, the National Insurance Institute allows psoriasis patients to receive recuperation days if disability percentages have been determined due to their medical condition. Patients may receive up to 28 days of treatment per eligibility year, with a minimum required stay of 14 consecutive days.
