Is there anything in the Dominican Republic resembling social security benefits in the US? I realize the benefits won‘t be very generous, but I‘m wondering if the DR has this at all.
Yes, larger employers have to pay social security for their employees. They get healthcare benefits, but I don't think they get anything in the way of unemployment or pension.

The Solidaridad card is usually about 800 pesos per household per month. Then there are BonoLuz and BonoGas subsidies electricity and gas, and, IIRC, another one for school uniforms and supplies that is conditional on the parents ensuring the children go to school.
