With the aim of guaranteeing that all beneficiaries can receive their financial support without geographical or logistical barriers, The Department for Social Prosperity offers the option of making a Money Transfer in case you cannot claim it at your usual payment pointl due to an emergency or force majeure problem. What is it and how can you do it?
The transfer of a money order is a very important mechanism that the entity implemented to help beneficiaries who face extraordinary circumstances, taking into account that payments from social programs cannot be claimed outside the established time limits.
In this case, the collection date of Cycles number 5 of Citizen Income and 4 of VAT Refund will be extended until December 26.
Social Prosperity reported that payments began under the transfer modality, so it is essential for those who need it to inform themselves about the process so as not to miss the opportunity.
This option is only allowed in cases of force majeure or exceptional situations that prevent access to the subsidy in the originally assigned municipality, thus guaranteeing the distribution of resources equitably at the national level.
The objective of this tool is to optimize social investment and ensure that resources can be redistributed efficiently to other beneficiaries who need support.

Beneficiaries who need to change the municipality of delivery of their money order may request it as long as the situation that motivates the transfer is justified by force majeure or fortuitous events.
If your situation meets the established criteria, follow these steps to request a transfer transfer:
1) Written Request: You must submit a written request in which you clearly explain the reason for the transfer, accompanied by documentation that supports your case of force majeure, to the email: [email protected].
2) Delivery of Documentation: The application and supporting documents must be delivered to the Municipal Liaison corresponding to your new place of residence.
3) Analysis and Response: Once your request is received, Social Prosperity will analyze the case and inform you if your request has been approved or not. If you are rejected, you will receive a detailed explanation of the reasons.
4) Procedure with the Financial Operator: If your request is approved, the process will be sent to the financial operator in charge of managing payments to proceed with the transfer of the money order.
5) Deadline to Request: Remember that applications must be submitted up to three days before the end of the incentive delivery period. This procedure must be carried out individually.

What is Citizen Income and VAT Refund?
Through the lines of intervention “Valuation of Care” and Colombia without Hunger, the program Citizen Income aims to reduce inequality gaps and guarantee a minimum income to families that are in vulnerable situations so that they can cover their basic needs.
This is an economic compensation aimed at families with the lowest classification in the SIsbén to reduce the impact of this tax on the consumption of goods and services.
