In Baja California, approximately 40,000 women aged 60 to 64 will soon be eligible to register for a government welfare pension program designed for older adults, as announced by the federal delegate in the region, Alejandro Ruíz Uribe. He emphasized that the registration must be done in person and warned against online registrations or utilizing third parties, which could lead to fraudulent activities.
The pension program is set to roll out immediately, initially covering women aged 63 and 64, offering a payment of 3,000 pesos every two months. These funds will be deposited into a Banco de Bienestar card, with payments expected to begin in December. Women aged 60 to 63 can anticipate receiving the pension starting in 2025, once the necessary budget is in place.
The delegate noted that the delivery of the Banco de Bienestar card might take between two to three months for the recipients to receive it. Additionally, for women from indigenous and Afro-descendant communities aged 60 to 64, particularly those residing in San Quintín, the federal government is still assessing their inclusion in the program.
