Overview
- IMSS confirmed that beneficiaries will continue receiving pensions and subsidies regardless of whether they enroll biometrics.
- The policy stems from Agreement ACDO.AS2.HCT.220725/194.P.DPES, published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on October 30, authorizing biometric identity validation.
- Biometric use began with platform workers and is slated to extend to all insured persons with priority on maternity subsidy processes.
- The digital health card provides up to 36 months of clinical information, including consultations, diagnoses, prescriptions, test results and related hospitalizations.
- Enrollment is done in the IMSS Digital app using facial recognition as the primary method with optional fingerprint, and IMSS urges users to rely on official channels for guidance.
