The fourth cycle of payments for the beneficiaries of the Colombia Mayor program began. A total of 1,675,210 seniors will have the opportunity to claim the subsidy between April 26 and May 10.
The entity has allocated 147,133 million pesos for this purpose.
María Fernanda Rojas, deputy director of Social Prosperity Programs and Projects, highlighted the importance of this program as one of the most significant commitments of President Gustavo Petro and the National Government. «In our country, no person should go through extreme situations of poverty that do not allow them to satisfy their basic needs, especially older people,” said the official.

To guarantee correct receipt of the subsidy, five important keys have been established for beneficiaries:
The beneficiaries will be notified of payment availability via text message on the registered cell phone.
They must be presented at the payment point with their original document and identify themselves as participants in the Colombia Mayor program.
It is crucial that you count the money received and request the payment slip before leaving the payment point.
SuperGIROS is the operator in charge of payment, with more than 27 thousand service points throughout the country.
The amount of the subsidy is $80,000 for each adult in May.r, with an additional $50,000 for beneficiaries in Bogotá, thanks to a co-financing agreement with the Mayor’s Office.
In this cycle, 11,215 new beneficiaries have been linked to the program, including 569 indigenous people who were on the waiting list.
Social Prosperity continues with the process of updating contact information of the participants of the Colombia Mayor program. Beneficiaries are urged to contact the designated telephone lines for any updates without providing personal details.
