Mexico Begins Pensión Mujeres Bienestar Rollout in Guerrero, Delivering 3,100-Peso Payments to Women 60–64

Sheinbaum’s government sets a 2026 welfare goal of 20 million people with a one‑trillion‑peso budget.

Overview

  • In Guerrero, more than 74,000 women ages 60–64 received Tarjetas del Bienestar as the pension begins bimonthly deposits of 3,100 pesos directly to their Banco del Bienestar cards.
  • Sheinbaum led events in Coyuca de Benítez and Petatlán, pairing the rollout with infrastructure work including the Omitlán bridge opening and plans to rebuild 68 hurricane‑damaged bridges.
  • Welfare Secretary Ariadna Montiel said Programas para el Bienestar will reach about 20 million people in 2026, supported by roughly one trillion pesos.
  • Authorities warned that viral claims of a 2,750‑peso January “bonus” are false and not part of the federal pension or the State of Mexico’s program.
  • In the State of Mexico, Mujeres con Bienestar keeps bimonthly payments at 2,500 pesos, with the first 2026 disbursement scheduled for February under updated eligibility rules.
