A lot of attention! During the health crisis caused by COVID-19 in Colombiathe social project was implemented “Solidarity Income” cin order to financially support the most needy families. Since its inception, this program has benefited millions of people on a monthly basis, especially those who do not have access to other social aid plans. For the current year 2023, adjustments have been made in the distribution of subsidies. For more details in this regard, it is possible to consult the following paragraphs of the text. It is essential to avoid repetition when expressing the same information with different terms.
In Colombia, two resources were used, the Unique Registry of Victims (RUD) and the System for the Identification of Potential Beneficiaries of Social Programs (Sisbén), to identify the people who would be beneficiaries of the Solidarity Income program. Through these mechanisms, it was possible to identify individuals who were in an unfavorable economic condition and who required financial support.
Solidarity Income in 2023: When will the subsidy be paid in Colombia?
Government authorities have informed that it will not be possible to maintain the delivery of the Solidarity Income during the course of 2023 due to the lack of resources necessary to sustain the distribution of subsidies. However, additional financial support programs and measures will be implemented to protect families in the country.
The most recent payment from the aforementioned program was made in December of the previous year, and no additional transfers have been made since then. However, it is planned that the first payment of the Citizen Income will be carried out from the month of April. This program has been designed to provide economic support similar to that offered by the previous subsidy.

The administration led by Gustavo Petro has ensured that 500,000 Colombian pesos will be granted with the purpose of providing financial aid to the most needy families.
