The Congress of the State of Jalisco comprehensively modified the allocation of pensions to protect the families of missing persons. The legal reform reconfigures immediate access to widow’s and orphan’s pension funds.
The Committee on Competitiveness, Economic Development, Innovation, and Labor approved the ruling that amends the Law of the State Pension Institute. The new legal provisions eliminate the bureaucratic and institutional obstacles currently in place in 2026.
How to apply for the new pension for absence in Jalisco?
The draft decree proposed by Representative Leonardo Almaguer restructures the regulatory framework to prevent dependents from being left without support after a public servant disappears. Previous legislation impractically required the presentation of a death certificate to release accumulated funds.
Those eligible for benefits who need to claim the budget percentage from the Jalisco State Pension Institute (IPEJAL) must comply with the following operational guidelines:
Submit the declaration of absence: present the court order declaring a special absence instead of the traditional death certificate to validate the process.
Prove legal kinship: submit the children’s birth certificates or the marriage certificate, along with copies of the official INE identification and CURP (Unique Population Registry Code), at the institute’s service windows.
Prove economic dependency: register the request to immediately activate the resources of the guarantee fund regulated by the Board of Directors.
Process the reconfiguration and monthly allocation of the preferential payment.
What are the requirements for the Support Program for Families of Missing Persons in Jalisco?
The Jalisco State Commission for the Search for Missing Persons (COBUPEJ) has simultaneously authorized supplementary guidelines to subsidize operational field search activities. The delivery of in-kind supplies is prioritized for families who do not receive subsidies from other public agencies.
Citizens interested in joining the state registry of beneficiaries must meet the following control requirements:
Validate search file: maintain an active file registered with COBUPEJ. This criterion applies to residents of Jalisco and other parts of Mexico.
Submit a formal application: visit the institutional offices located at Libertad Street #1955, Colonia Americana, in Guadalajara, or begin the registration process by phone at 33 3668 1800.
Provide identification information: provide the victim’s full name, file number, address for receiving notifications, and sign the declaration of non-duplication of support.
Access free of charge to food, lodging, hydration and scheduled logistical transfers.
