Cheque Canguro activated: Help for parents — is the money enough?

Answer

Can part-time workers or self-employed parents in Mallorca receive Cheque Canguro?

Not usually, because the scheme is designed for residents who work full time. That means some parents, including part-time workers and many self-employed people with irregular income, may be left out. The eligibility rules are one reason the support is seen as fairly limited.
