Wellbeing pension for older adults

What it is

It is a non-contributory pension for people aged 65 or older who are Mexican by birth or naturalization and live in Mexico. In 2026 the amount is $3,200.00 a month, paid every two months, and you request it when you reach that age.

Time

You are told the result within two months after the request is entered. The pension is delivered every two months starting in the two-month period in which you are enrolled.

Requirements

• You must be 65 or older, Mexican by birth or naturalization, and live in Mexico; your age counts as reached during the two-month period in which you are enrolled.
• Bring a copy and the original of your birth certificate so they can be compared.
• Bring a current ID: a voter card or, if you do not have one, a valid passport, an INAPAM card, or another identity document issued by an authority.
• Present your CURP (unique population registry code).
• Bring proof of address no more than 6 months old, or a residence certificate from the local authority.
• Submit the completed Formato Único de Bienestar.
• Have a mobile phone number and a home phone number.

Steps

1. Go to a service module with your documents, or ask for a home visit if a disability or illness keeps you from leaving home.
2. Module staff register your request if you meet the requirements.
3. If a document is missing or has an error, you can correct it at any time during that fiscal year.
4. They tell you the result within two months after the request is entered.
5. Once your registration is validated, they start issuing a bank card, and the first payment order confirms that you were enrolled.
6. The pension is delivered every two months, directly and without intermediaries, through that payment method.
