Overview
- Municipal and state programs linked with DIF are distributing free food baskets through 2026 after a first February delivery, with upcoming dates on April 16, June 15, August 17, October 15 and December 14.
- Eligibility for the food baskets requires being 60 or older, holding a current INAPAM credential and living within the coverage area, with ID, CURP and recent proof of address typically requested and some sites using a brief socioeconomic interview.
- In Mexico City, participating restaurants listed in the INAPAM Benefits Directory offer percentage discounts when the card is shown at payment, with terms varying by establishment and sometimes by menu items.
- The credential is issued free in person at SecretarÃa del Bienestar modules or INAPAM offices, generally Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 14:00, and applicants must present a birth certificate, official ID, CURP and recent proof of address.
- INAPAM cards have indefinite validity, except when replaced for damage, loss, data corrections or official design and security updates, and beneficiaries should consult local calendars and directories because offerings differ by location.
