Today the IFE reaches 9 million people.

Three batches have already been paid -each of them for $ 10,000- and so far it has included AUH holders, unemployed, informal workers, domestic workers and monotax workers of categories A and B. It does not reach retirees or pensioners or those who receive unemployment insurance.
