This Friday, September 29 of the current year, during his tour in Tecámac, State of Mexico, the current president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)pointed out that they will seek to change the payments of the Welfare Pension for the Elderly from bimonthly to monthly, even pointing out that it could be made biweekly.
During his speech, the federal president told the residents present that support is a right that they have and that he hopes that under the efforts of Adriana Montiel, head of the Welfare Secretariatry of Juan Pablo de Botton Falcón, Undersecretary of Expenditures of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), it is possible to modify the delivery of support, which would not reduce the amount.
“I was talking with Ariadna (Montiel) who is in charge of the Welfare programs and Juan Pablo de Botton, who is the Undersecretary of Expenditures of the Treasury, we are already looking for an agreement so that it is not delivered bimonthly, that is, that it is not every two months, but rather the delivery is monthly. “The same amount, but monthly and if we can, biweekly.”
However, although the news has been circulating on the internet and in the media, the reality is that this is not yet official and is only a AMLO proposalso we still have to wait for it to be approved.
What is needed for the Welfare Pension to be delivered monthly?
Although the president Andrés Manuel López Obrador has indicated that this could be a reality that benefits the population, it is important to remember that the president added that the proposal must still be approved, which is why it is being analyzed by Adriana Montiel and Juan Pablo de Botton Falcón.
In the event that these increases are formally approved and complied with, the increase must be published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF), and the authorities officially confirm that the support will be delivered monthly or biweekly for the beneficiaries and what will be the amount that will be delivered on each date to the Older adults that they receive this help.
