Empowering Families and Strengthening Bonds
 

Granting a permanent allowance to spouses and parents of minors creates an opportunity for families to stay together and build stronger bonds. When a child requires extraordinary care, it often strains the family's financial resources and may even lead to the parents’ separation due to the need for constant caregiving. The state helps alleviate these challenges by providing monetary compensation, enabling parents to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities while maintaining stability within the family unit. This support fosters a nurturing environment for the child's growth and well-being.
