Mexico City Lifts 'Hombres Bienestar' to 92,000 Recipients as Federal Payments for Women 60–62 Start Next Week

Officials describe the stipends as a universal bridge for 60–64-year-olds before enrollment in the federal pension at 65.

Overview

  • Mexico City added more than 8,000 new beneficiaries, closing 2025 with roughly 92,000 men aged 60–64 receiving 3,000 pesos every two months.
  • The city set a 2026 goal to incorporate about 100,000 additional men, bringing the local roll to nearly 200,000 beneficiaries.
  • The program exceeded its original 2025 target of 77,000 enrollees, according to the city’s social welfare department.
  • Hombres Bienestar is paid regardless of other pensions and serves as a complement to the federal scheme that already extends benefits to women aged 60–64.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said deposits for Mujeres Bienestar beneficiaries aged 60–62 will begin the week of November 18, with the 3,000-peso bimonthly benefit already reaching about 3 million women nationwide.
