Overview
- Mexico City added 20,000 people to the program at a Thursday event at Utopía Mixihuca, bringing the beneficiary roll to 107,610.
- The transfer pays 2,000 pesos every two months to anyone 57–59 who lives in the capital, with no test of income, job status or family makeup.
- Participants move at 60 into the local Mujeres y Hombres Bienestar stipend of 3,000 pesos bimonthly, then at 65 into the federal pension now at 6,000 pesos.
- City figures show 80,000 people received the benefit in 2025, and officials target 155,000 on the rolls in 2026 as enrollment runs through house-to-house outreach.
- Leaders tie the cash aid to a wider push that builds care centers called Utopías, keeps Metro fares at 5 pesos through subsidies, and boosts social housing and Cablebús projects.
