An Aruba disability support proposal seeking Afl. 500 monthly for each child under 18 with intensive care needs has been submitted to Parliament, according to a November 2 report by 24ora. The source attributes the submission to Social Affairs Minister Mervin Wyatt-Ras and Prime Minister Mike Eman.
Bill reaches parliamentary stage
The proposed contribution would help families meet additional costs of therapy, treatment and specialist materials. The report says the initiative began in 2021, was sent for legal review in December 2025 and went through the advisory process before submission.
Approval still required
Parliament must consider the bill before deciding whether to approve it. Submission does not mean that the benefit is already in force or that payments have started.
Information sessions announced
The minister and prime minister announced sessions for November 3 at YMCA San Nicolas and November 5 at MFA Paradera, both from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The source says advance registration is required and spaces are limited.
