Today, 63 million Americans — including our own Virgin Islanders — step up as family caregivers, helping older parents, spouses, and other loved ones live independently at home rather than in costly nursing homes. These everyday heroes hold up a broken long-term care system, managing medications, preparing meals, helping with bathing and dressing, and more. In the Virgin Islands alone, family caregivers provide thousands of hours of care each year, worth an exceptional amount in unpaid labor.

On October 28, 2025, Troy de Chabert-Schuster proudly testified before the 36th Legislature's Committee on Health, Hospitals, and Human Services, championing important amendments to the Caregivers Leave Act (Bill No. 36-0086). This proposed legislation is an exciting step forward, ensuring that all full-time employees of the Government of the Virgin Islands, including those working with independent boards, commissions, and agencies, receive four hours of administrative leave every month to fulfill their essential caregiving responsibilities for a seriously ill spouse, child, parent, or any legal dependent.

As of November 1, 2025, millions of Americans—including many older Virgin Islanders—may not receive their monthly food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. This disruption affects individuals living on fixed incomes, many of whom rely on SNAP to afford groceries and maintain their health.

English Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube, Yahoo, Gmail, icloud: todas, pero solo algunas de las plataformas y herramientas que nos conectan con nuestros seres queridos a través de la tecnología. No hay duda de que estamos viviendo la era digital. ¿Alguna vez se ha preguntado qué pasará con sus cuentas creadas dentro de estas plataformas después de su fallecimiento? En las Islas Vírgenes, los cuidadores de familia que perdieron a sus seres queridos han tenido dificultades para obtener acceso a estas cuentas porque una vez que el propietario de las cuentas se declaró fallecido, las empresas mantuvieron los derechos de propiedad. Pero ya no más. El 12 de enero de 2018, el Teniente Gobernador Osbert Potter promulgó el acto de ley número 32-1032, Acceso Fiduciario Uniforme a los Activos Digitales Revisado, también conocida como RUFADAA por sus siglas en inglés o Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.

There is no doubt we are living the Digital Age. Have you ever wondered what happens to your accounts created within these platforms after your passing? In the Virgin Islands, Family Caregivers who lost their loved one have struggled to obtain access to these accounts because once the owner of the accounts was pronounced deceased, the rights of ownership were maintained by these companies. But not anymore. On January 12, 2018, Bill Number 32-1032, the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act also known as RUFADAA was signed by Acting Governor Osbert Potter into law.
