Until January 30, beneficiaries of the ‘Valoración del Cuidado’ category can collect payments for cycle 6 of Renta Ciudadana.

Renta Ciudadana is the national government’s social program, administered by Prosperidad Social, which aims to combat poverty among the country’s most vulnerable population. The previous year, the program benefited nearly 2 million households in each payment cycle. Together with Devolución del IVA, it reached 3 million households per cycle and 9 million people living in extreme and moderate poverty.

By December 2024, Prosperidad Social had paid the sixth cycle of Renta Ciudadana under two support categories: ‘Colombia Sin Hambre’ and ‘Valoración del Cuidado’. However, the agency’s director, Gustavo Bolívar, announced that Prosperidad Social had faced a series of budget cuts that made it necessary to restructure some subsidies. For example, the ‘Colombia sin Hambre’ category, which prioritized households with children and young people under 18 based on family composition, will no longer be available in 2025.

In January 2025, Prosperidad Social is paying cycle 6 of the Valoración del Cuidado (Care Assessment) line, which benefits more than 500,000 households headed by mothers with children under age 6, as well as people with disabilities.

According to the agency, “Selected beneficiaries will receive a text message indicating their payment method: those with bank accounts will receive a deposit into a savings account or BICO, which can be withdrawn at ATMs in the Servibanca partner network.” Unbanked beneficiaries can collect their subsidies at Banco Agrario branch counters or through its banking correspondents, such as Supergiros, Reval, and Efecty.

Cali and Medellín are two of the cities with the largest number of beneficiary households. In Cali, the capital of Valle del Cauca, 11,291 unbanked households receive their payments through Banco Agrario. That is why it is essential to watch for text messages indicating where to go to collect the funds.

Beneficiaries should stay informed about the payment procedures and dates set by Prosperidad Social. Each household should be aware of the requirements and how to claim the payment, ensuring that they can access this vital financial support.

Providing assistance to beneficiaries is essential, and Prosperidad Social offers communication channels to answer questions and guide families in checking payment status and using their allocated funds correctly.

Beneficiary households should check their status promptly so they don't miss the opportunity to receive this subsidy. In addition, follow-up and an effective information strategy are key to the program's success and to properly serving its target population.

Finally, beneficiaries of Renta Ciudadana (Citizen's Income) should be aware that this support is temporary and should be used responsibly, helping foster self-sufficiency and prevent cycles of dependency.

The future of Renta Ciudadana (Citizen's Income), as well as other social welfare initiatives, will depend on the public's response and the government's ability to adapt to Colombia's changing needs.
