Renta Ciudadana and VAT Refund Payments Delayed in September

Colombian households benefiting from the Renta Ciudadana program and the VAT Refund must wait for Prosperidad Social to confirm the exact payment dates for the fourth cycle of the year. Although initial schedules pointed to an August start, authorities announced a temporary suspension to conduct technical reviews alongside the National Planning Department.

This rescheduling is officially set for September, yet officials emphasize that a precise day for the disbursements has not yet been finalized. The primary catalyst behind this administrative delay is the ongoing implementation of the Universal Income Registry system.

This new administrative framework aims to replace and complement traditional methods for targeting economically vulnerable populations previously handled by older socioeconomic tools. Ultimately, the transition modifies the overall evaluation of household socioeconomic levels across the nation.
