Mexico Rolls Out Bienestar Cards for Disability Pension as May–June Payments Continue

The push channels aid through Banco del Bienestar to cut intermediaries, tying deposits to activated cards.

Overview

  • Delivery of the new Bienestar card for people with disabilities runs May 13–20, with beneficiaries notified by SMS about the date, time and pickup module.
  • Beneficiaries must attend in person at the assigned module with a valid photo ID and their registration receipt, and they can confirm the location using their CURP on the Social Welfare portal.
  • The card must be physically activated to release bimonthly deposits, and missing the pickup appointment can delay access to funds, with reprogramming available through official help lines and modules.
  • May–June pension deposits continue on an alphabetical schedule through late May, with the letter L group gaining access on May 14, and funds remain in the Banco del Bienestar account until withdrawn.
  • Older adults receive 6,400 pesos bimonthly in 2026, part of a broader shift that moves social payments into Banco del Bienestar accounts to reduce fees, cash-handling risks and leakage.
