Mexico City will continue its Men’s Welfare Pension program for men aged 60 to 64 in 2026. This financial support program provides up to 18,000 pesos per year to male residents of the capital. According to the operating rules of the Secretariat of Welfare and Social Equality (SEBIEN), the amount is distributed in six bimonthly payments of 3,000 pesos.
This program is part of the Mexico City government’s social policy and is focused on men under 65, the age at which they can access the universal pension for senior citizens. Enrollment in 2026 will be phased in, prioritizing those aged 63 and 64.
The annual financial support is up to 18,000 pesos per person, provided the beneficiary remains enrolled throughout the year. Payments are made in six bimonthly installments of 3,000 pesos each, and are not retroactive.
Mexico City authorities have stated that this program aims to reduce economic disparities in the pre-retirement stage, especially in lower-income areas.
To access the program in 2026, applicants must meet basic criteria established by SEBIEN (the Ministry of Welfare). These include residing in Mexico City, being between 60 and 64 years old at the time of registration, and not simultaneously receiving similar support.
Additionally, enrollment is subject to document verification, budget availability, and social prioritization criteria. This year, the program expects to benefit more than 125,000 people in the capital.
Required documentation includes a valid official photo ID, such as a voter ID card, documents from IMSS (Mexican Social Security Institute) or ISSSTE (Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers), INAPAM (National Institute for Older Adults), professional license, military service card, or driver’s license.
A recent proof of address is also required if the address does not appear on the ID. In some cases, authorities may request a birth certificate and CURP (Unique Population Registry Code), in addition to completing the application form provided at the registration centers.
