President Daniel Noboa created the "Ecuatorianos en Acción" plan to assist citizens affected by the winter emergency. Through Executive Decree 246, signed on March 22, 2025, the Government established a temporary monetary transfer of USD 400 in two payments.
This measure is aimed at people between 30 and 64 years old residing in Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí, El Oro, Esmeraldas, Santa Elena, Loja, and Azuay. Beneficiaries must participate in activities that help address the emergency caused by heavy rains, landslides, and floods.
Among the requirements is not being affiliated with Social Security, nor receiving other MIES bonuses. Additionally, they must not have a criminal record or be registered as deceased. Those who belong to the "Jóvenes en Acción" program are also excluded from the benefit.
The Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion will design a platform for the registration and validation of applicants. Once the criteria are verified, the first disbursement will be deposited into bank accounts registered by the beneficiaries.
