Welfare Pension: New payment of $6,000 pesos falls on this date

The social program Welfare Pensionaimed at the most vulnerable groups in Mexico, mainly older adults, is scheduled to continue its bimonthly payments, with next delivery scheduled for late June or during July 2024.

This payment will correspond to the July-August period, with an amount of 6 thousand pesos, as part of an effort to support citizens in their basic needs. The Welfare Secretariatresponsible for the program, has not yet confirmed the exact dates of this next payment cycle.

Since its inception in January 2019, during the López Obrador government, the Pensión Bienestar has been a pillar in the country’s social assistance strategy, providing economic support not only to older adults, but also to other vulnerable sectors.

These include people with disabilities, boys and girls of working mothers, and minors with disabilities, with assigned amounts of 3 thousand 100 pesos, 1 thousand 600 pesos and 3 thousand 600 pesos respectively, valid until 2024.

The 2024 payment schedule details the dates and amounts assigned:

• January-February and July-December: 6 thousand pesos are delivered.
• March-April: due to the electoral ban, a double payment of 12 thousand pesos was delivered.
• May-June: No payment made due to 2024 elections.

In 2020, a decree published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) reformed and added article 4 of the Mexican Constitution to grant this social program the rank of “constitutionality”, ensuring the right to a non-contributory pension for everyone. the country’s older adults over 65 years of age.

This constitutional change reflects the government’s commitment to its older citizens, ensuring that the pension benefit is permanent and sustained through time.

With the upcoming activation of payments, the Welfare Secretariat seeks not only to comply with its established schedule, but also to reaffirm its objective of support citizens who need it mostthus strengthening the social and economic fabric of communities throughout the country.
