The novelty that comes with the eighth turning point of the Solidarity Income

The national government, through social prosperity, initiated the eighth payment of the program Solidarity income, benefiting three million families across the country.

Participating households, which are managed by banks, will receive the subsidy on their active financial products. For the rest, about 700,000 unbanked beneficiaries, who receive the incentive by bank transfer or at the counter, the payment will begin once the cycles that are in the payment process are finished.

These transfers are accumulated with up to five payments for beneficiaries who have not received the grant. “It coincides with the date of the day without VAT. The national government is betting with several actions for the reactivation of the country. 480,000 million pesos were available for this payment”said Susana Correa, director of Social Prosperity.

There are some new features in this payment for people who have active products in the financial system: Banco Davivienda will make payments on a staggered basis; at AV Villas, Itaú, Banco de Bogotá and Banco de Occidente the payment will be available from this Saturday 21 November; and in Banco Agrario it will be available from Monday 23 November.

The beneficiaries of Solidarity Income who have no active financial products will receive a text message, in which will ask them to open one of these products in one of the entities linked to the program.

To be a beneficiary of the Ingreso Solidario program it is not necessary to register or participate in lotteries of any kind.

Who are the beneficiaries of the solidarity income?

They are families in a condition of poverty and vulnerability who do not receive any monetary transfer from any state social program.

Prosperidad Social reminds you that it is not necessary to participate in bonuses, sweepstakes or registrations of any kind to access solidarity income and asked to refrain from entering or providing your data on websites that require your identity document.

What should I do because I have received the message that I am a beneficiary and have not received the payment?

If you have been informed that you are a beneficiary of the program via a text message sent by the financial institution in which you have an active account or deposit, contact that person to find out how to access the resources of Solidarity Income.
