Mexico City Delivers 8,000 New Universal Income Payments to Residents Ages 57–59

Officials set a 2025 target of 77,000 beneficiaries to advance a multi‑year path to universal coverage.

Overview

  • The one‑day distribution took place September 29 at the Monumento a la Revolución for invitation‑listed recipients.
  • Each beneficiary in the 57–59 age group receives 2,000 pesos every two months, provided they are not on similar government subsidies.
  • Sebien said nearly 8,000 new supports were issued after spots opened when some beneficiaries aged into the 60–65 program.
  • Eligibility is limited to Mexico City residents aged 57 to 59, with verification via official identification and an original invitation letter.
  • The government frames the program as part of a broader social‑protection network and intends to add comparable cohorts in subsequent years.
