In a statement on 17 October, Prosperidad Social said the government had found funding difficulties in the Colombia Mayor programme and that the eighth transfer was delayed as a result. The agency said the programme supports about three million older people.

Agency director Sandra Suárez said Prosperidad Social was working with the Finance Ministry to confirm the availability of funds and would announce the exact transfer date once that confirmation arrived. The statement did not set a new payment date; it advised beneficiaries to follow the agency’s official channels for updates.
