For this reason, it is the main division to which the largest amount of subsidies and benefits are allocated in order to support their health, education, food and housing. It is also of the highest priority when granting these advantages.
Next is Group B, which is categorized for moderate poverty. In this classification, people are in a situation of poverty, but it is not extreme. The acquired benefits are less than those of Group A, although they also have a large amount, especially, for health, education and support in employment and food programs.

On the other hand, the Sisbén refers to Group C. This includes people who are in vulnerable conditions, that is, people and families who are not poor, but they are at risk of being so. They receive some of the support provided by the Government, which is specific and limited, and focuses only on poverty prevention.
Finally, there is the least vulnerable group. This is Group D, where people and families with better economic stability are found, although they are susceptible to certain risks. Thus, the income of money in terms of benefits and aid is minimal and They are also part of the lower priority line.
