I'm really lost here with several aspects of this passage. For my first question, I think this must mean that the bedridden person is given 1 peso so that he/she can eat, not that they have to pay 1 peso. Does anyone disagree with that interpretation?
Hacemos saber que la cuota social de ingreso es de un peso; 20 centavos seminal y 80 mensual, y que la dieta de los socios enfermos que estén guardando cama es la de un peso moneda official, y en caso de defunción 25 pesos en igual moneda, cantidad que para ayuda del entierro, será entregada al familiar más allegado del difunto y que lo halla asistido hasta los últimos moments de su vida.

Nothing to do with food!

I assume it originally meant food allowance, but its meaning has evolved. Thanks.

: I wouldn't say it necessarily has nothing to do with food. In Puerto Rico our legislators are paid "dietas" when the House is in session, and it's an allowance to cover their meals and other expenses. It does appear to be paid TO the sick person.

fee
The social registration fee is one peso, a weekly payment of 20 cents and 80 monthly, and the fee for sick people in bed is one peso (I believe monthly) etc.
