**Registration Opens for Women Aged 60 to 64 for the Wellbeing Pension**
On October 7, women between the ages of 60 and 64 can begin registering for the Wellbeing Pension facilitated by the Federal Welfare Department. However, not every applicant qualifies, as specific criteria must be met. According to Baja California’s federal delegate, Jesús Alejandro Ruiz Uribe, this registration is specifically for women from indigenous and Afro-Mexican communities. For other women, only those aged 63 and 64 are currently eligible for the support, which offers three thousand pesos every two months starting in January 2025 via the Welfare Bank.
The ongoing budget constraints have restricted the pension program’s initial implementation to women aged 63 and 64, aiming to expand the eligibility from 60 to 64 years eventually and eventually include those aged 65 and above. The phased application process is a response to current financial limitations, with hopes to accommodate younger age groups from 60 to 62 by 2025.
To apply, candidates need a valid official identification (such as an electoral ID, passport, professional license, INAPAM credential, or identity card), a readable birth certificate, a CURP number, proof of address no older than six months, a contact number, and they must complete the Wellbeing form at one of the available registration modules across seven municipalities, details of which can be found on the bienestar.gob.mx website. In Tijuana, registration modules are located at the Federal Welfare Offices on Avenida José Clemente Orozco in Zona Urbana RÃo Tijuana and at Plaza RÃo on Paseo de los Héroes.
The deadline for registration is November 30, with specific attendance dates assigned based on the initial letter of the applicant’s last name. The weekly schedule starts with surnames starting with A, B, or C on Mondays, followed by D through H on Tuesdays, I through M on Wednesdays, N through R on Thursdays, S through Z on Fridays, and open for any remaining applicants on Saturdays.
