WILLEMSTAD - Unemployed people and people in welfare have recently been able to collect the Karchi Sosial (social card). This is arranged per neighborhood because the person needed to sign as proof that he or she received the card.
The amount on the card is intended for groceries. The amount depends on the family situation. This card may only be used to buy food and cleaning products, so no alcohol, tobacco, or calling cards.
There are specific cash registers at the 16 participating supermarkets where customers can scan the card. Customers do not have to use the entire amount at once, but you can divide it over the period and also save something for the next period.
