Edomex Lowers Mujeres con Bienestar Age Cap to 59 as Federal Pension Cards Roll Out

The shift aligns state rules with the new 60–64 pension to prevent overlapping benefits.

Overview

  • An agreement published in the State of Mexico’s Gaceta formalizes eligibility for Mujeres con Bienestar at 18–59 with automatic removal at 60.
  • The state program maintains a 2,500‑peso bimonthly payment and requires online registration through mujeresconbienestar.gob.mx for applicants in poverty without social security.
  • The federal Pensión Mujeres Bienestar provides 3,000 pesos every two months for women aged 60–64, with transfer to the Adultos Mayores scheme at 65, which pays 6,200 pesos bimonthly.
  • Delivery of federal pension cards to those who registered in August runs from October 7 to November 7, with pickup details sent by SMS or available via CURP lookup on gob.mx/bienestar; beneficiaries must present valid ID and their registration receipt.
  • Authorities report about 650,000 beneficiaries in the state program and 1 million women aged 63–64 already receiving the federal pension, while nearly 2 million cards are being issued in the current phase; new state rules also prioritize women who identify as LGBT+ and replace “single mothers” with “female heads of household,” alongside strengthened data protection and administrative procedures.
