The Ministry of Health (MinSalud) in Colombia has authorized payments and compensation for funeral expenses incurred due to the recent earthquake. Individuals seeking to receive these benefits, as outlined in a recent decree, must be registered in the Único Registro de Damnificados (RUD), or Unique Registry of Affected Persons. This initiative aims to provide financial support to families grieving losses resulting from the seismic event. Registration in the RUD is a mandatory requirement to access the stipulated payments and recognition of expenses. The government’s action demonstrates a commitment to assisting citizens impacted by the disaster and easing the financial burden associated with funeral costs. Further details regarding the application process and required documentation are expected to be released alongside the decree’s full implementation. This assistance is specifically for those affected by the earthquake in Colombia.
