Overview
- The Secretaría de Bienestar launched a time-limited registration campaign in Michoacán for the Pensión para Adultos Mayores and the Pensión Mujeres Bienestar to enroll new beneficiaries in person.
- The programs target people aged 65 and older and Mexican women aged 60 to 64, with bimonthly payments of 6,400 pesos for the older-adult pension and 3,100 pesos for the women’s pension.
- Registration is organized by the first letter of applicants’ surnames to manage flow, and modules across the country offer in-person service each day from 10:00 to 16:00 with locations listed on the Secretaría de Bienestar website.
- Applicants must bring official photo ID, a recent CURP printout, a legible birth certificate, a proof of address no older than six months, and a contact phone number, and a domiciliary visit can be requested if the person cannot attend a module.
- The Bienestar pensions are federal cash-transfer programs administered through local modules and aim to boost household income for older adults while formally recognizing unpaid care work by older women as part of social policy.
