Thus, households that were waiting for a response regarding the benefit will be able to enjoy it without any inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n These surveys are part of the \u201cAnticolados\u201d strategy, implemented by Prosperidad Social since the beginning of the Renta Ciudadana program. In order to prevent the selected beneficiaries from not meeting the program\u2019s criteria, the entity carries out constant evaluations of Sisb\u00e9n IV surveys.<\/p>\n\n This control resulted precisely in the reduction of beneficiaries to 2 million, considering that the initial goal was to reach 3 million households benefited by the Renta Ciudadana.<\/p>\n\n Regarding the lifting of the suspension, Cielo Rusinque, director of Social Prosperity, stated that the families in question \u201cwill be able to enter the third payment cycle of the Renta Ciudadana transit program, once the inconsistencies have been corrected and compliance with the prioritization criteria has been verified, guaranteeing due process as we had been informing\u201d.<\/p>\n\n You may also read: Bill to regulate euthanasia in Colombia is filed: De la Calle and Losada push for new attempt<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n During the month of August, the Social Prosperity entity shared the lifting of the suspension to the beneficiary families.

The ultimate goal is to move towards prosperity and reduce the poverty that afflicts lower-income Colombians.<\/p>\n\n The beneficiaries of the Renta Ciudadana subsidy will receive economic assistance for a limited period of time and provided that they guarantee access to health and education services for the children and adolescents in their families.<\/p>\n\n Under this irrefutable condition, and after verification of the Sisb\u00e9n IV survey, families receive a series of transfers fixed according to their socioeconomic condition.
