New Universal Pension Program Launched in Mexico City

The Head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, led the launch of the Men's Welfare Pension program for ages 60 to 64. This initiative, which aims to support men in this age range, complements the Women's Welfare Pension created by President Claudia Sheinbaum. The goal is to ensure that all individuals between 60 and 64 years old receive financial assistance in the city.

According to Brugada, the Men's Welfare Pension program is accompanied by various actions to improve the quality of life of its beneficiaries. These include access to healthcare, physical activation, free will processing, job offers, and access to credits from the Social Development Fund (FONDESO), among other benefits.

The requirements to access this program are to be a resident of Mexico City, be 63 years old, and not receive any other government support. To register, it is necessary to present an official identification, a current proof of residence, a birth certificate, CURP, and complete the application at the modules of the Ministry of Well-being and Social Equality.

During this year, it is expected that more than 77 thousand men between 60 and 64 years will receive a bimonthly support of 3 thousand pesos through this program. The delivery process has already begun, with 28 thousand people benefiting on the first day. The idea is to expand the coverage of this financial assistance to all members of this population group in Mexico City.
