Mexico Starts Second Round of Rain Disaster Aid in Five States

Beneficiaries receive SMS appointments to collect tiered grants at Banco del Bienestar modules.

Overview

  • The second delivery window runs November 10–16 under the federal emergency welfare program (PESN).
  • Housing reconstruction payments range from 15,000 to 70,000 pesos depending on assessed damage, with the maximum for total loss.
  • Local businesses are eligible for 20,000 to 50,000 pesos, and agricultural or livestock producers receive 50,000 pesos for documented losses.
  • To collect, recipients must present the receipt from the first payment, an official photo ID, and their CURP at the assigned site.
  • This phase follows an initial round of roughly 20,000 pesos per household that reached about ninety to one hundred thousand families after the early-October storms in Hidalgo, Puebla, Veracruz, Querétaro and San Luis Potosí.
