While the Government has announced that there will be dates for those beneficiaries who might not collect the amount since its delivery in 2020 and 2021, they will be able to do so on extraordinary dates that will soon be published in the state media. Of course, it would not apply to the first payment of this 2022, but it would apply to those who have made a claim in previous years and have not received any response.
However, the 4 million 85 thousand households favored by this measure are concerned that this economic aid will stop being delivered in 2023. Given this, the president of Colombia, Iván Duque, has referred to it and, for peace of mind, the population confirmed that the program will continue to be delivered next year.
In fact, he explained that resources would not be a problem, since in the draft National budget for 2023 -which must be presented in the middle of this year- would be aimed at being able to comply with the delivery of the bond, just as it has been done at present. But, would the change of mandate affect these plans?

Right off the bat, there is no certainty regarding this, but it is unlikely that the benefit will stop being delivered; It’s already budgeted for the remainder of 2022, in fact. Duque also added that there will be sufficient resourcesso that would not be a reason for this payment to no longer be issued.
