What happened to Ingreso Solidario: will it still exist in 2026?

Last updated: June 2026

Every week we receive the same message via WhatsApp: a mother who received the Solidarity Income payment during the pandemic opens her bank's app expecting the transfer… and finds nothing. She calls, asks her neighbors, and each one tells her something different. That it was taken away. That she has to re-register. That she still owes back money. The confusion is real, and we understand why it hurts: when a family is counting on that money for groceries, being left without a clear answer causes anguish.

So, what happened to Ingreso Solidario?

Let's get straight to what you need to know. Ingreso Solidario no longer exists as an active program. It was a government aid program created in 2020 to support households hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. The last payments were made between late 2022 and early 2023, and the program was subsequently discontinued. It wasn't that you specifically lost your benefit; it ended for the entire country.

What followed was not a void. The government guided many of those families toward a new program., Citizen's Income, This program, currently managed by Prosperidad Social, serves households classified as living in poverty and vulnerability under the Sisbén IV system. If you were dependent on Ingreso Solidario, this is the program you should consider.

Do they still owe me outstanding payments from the Solidarity Income program?

Be careful here, because a lot of misinformation is circulating. Since the program ended years ago, there will be no new Solidarity Income payments in 2026. If someone writes to you saying it's "reactivated" or that you "have stashed money" and asks for personal information, a payment, or to click on a suspicious link, be wary: this is how scams operate, preying on people's needs.

If you truly believe there's an outstanding balance from that period, the only reliable way to find out is by contacting the official Prosperidad Social channel. No one outside of that channel can confirm it, and no legitimate entity will charge you to "unblock" a payment.

How do I check my status today?

The first step is to stop guessing and consult the direct source. Prosperidad Social has a portal where, with your document type, number, and issue date, you can see if you are eligible for Renta Ciudadana (Citizen's Income).

• Check your status on the official portal of Citizen's Income from Social Prosperity.
• If you were previously enrolled in Ingreso Solidario or other similar programs, also check the page for Transition to Citizen's Income.

One practical detail worth knowing: online consultations usually work better on a computer than on a mobile phone. If it doesn't load on your phone, ask someone you trust with a computer, or go to a service center.

Which program do I migrate to if I was dependent on Ingreso Solidario?

Citizen's Income is the natural replacement for many households that previously received Solidarity Income. It's not automatic for everyone, as it uses its own criteria, but it's the first place to look. To understand how your household fits in, here's what we've gathered on the topic:

• How the program works today in Families in Action and Citizen's Income.
• What is required to be included: Citizen's Income requirements.
• Why your ranking matters so much: Sisbén groups for subsidies.

Pay attention to a point that causes a lot of confusion: your Sisbén IV group carries a lot of weight. Two families in the same neighborhood can have different results simply because of how they were classified. If it's been a while since you updated your survey or your household situation has changed, that's usually the first hurdle to overcome.

Has the way they are paid changed now?

Yes, and it's good to know so we don't get caught waiting for a payment that no longer arrives on the same dates as before. With Citizen's Income, the payments are organized in cycles throughout the year, not with the same rhythm as Solidarity Income. Social Prosperity usually announces each cycle through official statements instead of publishing a fixed annual schedule.

Therefore, our recommendation remains the same: confirm the exact dates, amounts, and requirements only through the official channels of Prosperidad Social. Anything said in a WhatsApp group or on a website that doesn't end in . socialprosperity.gov.co Take it with a grain of salt. If you want to get organized with your cycles, check out our subsidy payment schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Solidarity Income program return in 2026?
No. Ingreso Solidario was a pandemic program that stopped making payments around 2022-2023. Any announcement that it has been "reactivated" should be verified on the official Prosperidad Social website before being believed.

Do I need to re-register for Citizen's Income?

Who can confirm if there is an outstanding payment in my name?
Only Prosperidad Social, through its official channels (its website, helplines, and physical locations). No legitimate entity will charge you to review it or ask for your information via WhatsApp.
