GO-VENEZUELA
Venezuelan money, straight to Venezuelans
A proposal from A Country That Works
Venezuelans’ purchasing power has collapsed. Uncontrolled inflation is eating away at people’s money: every day it buys less.
That is why, as fast and direct relief, we are proposing that the United States use Venezuelan resources currently held at the U.S. Treasury to help, effectively, the millions of families who today are struggling badly.
First, let’s be clear
Go-Venezuela is a proposal from A Country That Works to the Government of the United States.
It has already been presented to the White House and the U.S. Treasury authorities. It has been received positively, but it has not yet been approved and is not yet operating.
For now, you do not have to register, hand over your data, or pay anyone.

Questions and answers
The essentials of Go-Venezuela, explained simply
1What is Go-Venezuela?
It is a proposal to put economic aid directly into the pockets of the Venezuelans who need it most.
No middlemen. No organizations handing out the money. No one deciding for you what you can buy.
The money would arrive directly in a digital wallet on your phone.
2Where would the money come from?
From Venezuela-related resources that have been recovered or seized by U.S. authorities as a result of illegal operations.
That money is frozen today. Go-Venezuela proposes using part of it to help Venezuelans directly.
The available amount still has to be confirmed by the U.S. authorities.
3What is the U.S. Treasury?
It is the part of the U.S. Government responsible for managing and protecting that country’s money and financial resources.
To use these resources, the U.S. Government has to approve and legally authorize it.
4Why is this aid needed?
Because for millions of Venezuelans, money is no longer enough to cover the most basic needs.
Food, medicine, and essential services cost more every day. This aid seeks to bring direct relief to the families who need it most.
5How many people could receive it?
The proposal aims to help up to eight million Venezuelans.
The aid would begin with the people who need it most.
6How much would each person receive?
The proposal is to give $50 a month for 12 months.
That represents up to $600 per person in a year.
If four people in the same family receive the aid, that family could receive up to $2,400 during the year. It is an example figure: the actual amount depends on how many household members receive the aid.
7How would the money reach me?
Straight to your pocket.
The money would be deposited in a digital wallet on your phone. It would not pass through the hands of organizations, leaders, brokers, or middlemen.
No one would have to hand it to you. No one could charge you a commission to give it to you.
8What is BioPago?
BioPago is a simple way to prove it is you.
When you go to pay at a store that has BioPago, you place your fingerprint. The system confirms your identity, checks whether you have money available in your wallet, and authorizes the payment.
You do not need a card, and you do not have to give your PIN to anyone. Your fingerprint confirms that it is you using the aid.
9What could I pay for with that money?
You could use it to cover your most important needs:
- Food.
- Medicine.
- Hygiene products.
- Essential services.
The aid is designed to ease your household’s basic expenses.
10Could I withdraw the money in cash?
No.
You also could not transfer it to another person or use it outside Venezuela.
The money could only be used to pay for food, medicine, and other essential services at authorized stores inside the country.
11How would they prevent someone from stealing the aid?
The money would go directly to your digital wallet.
Your identity would be verified at the moment of payment, and every transaction would be recorded. That way it would be possible to know when, where, and how the money was used.
The Venezuelan Government would not handle the funds or decide who receives the aid.
12Can I apply for it now?
No. Go-Venezuela is still a proposal.
There are no open registrations. There is no official app. No one is authorized to ask you for documents, offer you a spot, or charge you to enter the program.
If someone asks you for money to sign up, do not pay them.
When the program is approved, we will publicly explain how it will work and what each person should do.
In short
The idea is very simple
There are Venezuelan resources that are frozen today.
Go-Venezuela proposes that a part of those resources reach our people directly, to buy food, medicine, and cover essential needs.
No cash. No middlemen. No money passing from hand to hand.
Straight to your digital wallet. And when you need to pay, you place your fingerprint.
Go-Venezuela is not yet a promise of payment. It is a concrete proposal from A Country That Works that we are working to make real.
Venezuelan resources, with the cooperation of the United States, straight to our people’s pockets.
