A lot of attention! The year 2023 continues to advance and in Colombia uncertainty continues whether the Solidarity income, the subsidy began to be delivered in the country with the objective of financially helping the most vulnerable families who are in extreme poverty. The Department of Social Prosperity (DPS) gave this benefit until the end of 2022 and now an extraordinary transfer of 500,000 pesos has been implemented as part of the Shock Plan against Hunger.
Through a press conference, Cielo Rusinque, the director of Social Prosperity, reported on the disbursement corresponding to the Shock Plan Against Hunger, a project implemented by the National Government that began with the delivery of an extraordinary transfer of 500,000 pesos .
Although there are still doubts about whether this program will continue to offer financial support during this year 2023, if you want to know more about this topic and find out if you are a beneficiary of this subsidy, review the information in this note.
What will happen to the Solidarity Income in 2023?
To date, a new Solidarity Income subsidy has not been announced by the National Government of Colombia for this 2023. The current president Gustavo Petro confirmed that this support will no longer be provided in this new year and recognized that there is a lack of resources to continue with the bonds in this new year, but will look for a way to continue watching over Colombian families.
In this sense, you must take into account that this subsidy is no longer available, since the last delivery date was in December of last year as part of its Shock Plan Against Hunger for the beneficiaries of the Solidarity Income, and until the second week of January 2023 for other subsidies. You must wait for a new notice from the Government or Social Prosperity, the entity in charge of social programs, to find out more details if this support will continue to be provided.
