Within the framework of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Government of Mexico reported that in 2025 the Well-being Pension for Persons with Disabilities benefits 1,614,018 beneficiaries under the age of 65, with a social investment of 32.078 billion pesos. The measure is part of the federal government’s priority programs aimed at promoting inclusion and access to social rights.
During the morning press conference led by Interior Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez, officials underscored that this pension is one of the pillars of the Fourth Transformation. Welfare Secretary Ariadna Montiel Reyes explained that the program is universal in 24 states for people aged 0 to 64, while in eight other states it supports people under 30 living in extreme poverty or belonging to Indigenous peoples and Afro-Mexican communities.
Since its creation in 2019, the bimonthly benefit has risen from 2,550 to 3,200 pesos. Over seven years, total investment has reached 141.253 billion pesos. In addition, through an agreement with the Teletón Foundation, more than 4.4 million free therapies have been provided to 25,525 children in 23 rehabilitation centers across 20 states.
Through the Salud Casa por Casa program, the government has also carried out 1,021,160 home medical consultations, generating a digital health record that can be accessed by institutions within the national health sector. This is complemented by a new bimonthly support of 6,400 pesos for the families of 2,698 children with cancer, following instructions from President Claudia Sheinbaum.
The pension is a constitutional right recognized in Article 4 of the Mexican Constitution, and its operation has been made possible through joint efforts by the federal and state governments. In 25 states, local administrations have contributed a total of 3.776 billion pesos to guarantee the program’s implementation and universal reach.
