This week, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, the Secretary of Bienestar, unveiled the payment schedule for Pensions and Programs for the Bienestar, marking the timeline for deposits corresponding to the third bimester of 2025. Beneficiaries of various programs, including the Pensión para el Bienestar de las Personas Adultas Mayores, Pensión Mujeres Bienestar, Pensión para el Bienestar de las Personas con Discapacidad, Madres trabajadoras, and Sembrando Vida, will receive their payments directly without intermediaries.
Payments will be disbursed from May 7 to May 30, 2025, benefiting a total of 15,922,381 individuals, including senior citizens, women, and people with disabilities. Notably, a total of 78,797.4 million pesos is allocated for the Pensión para el Bienestar de las Personas Adultas Mayores, which will support 12,709,260 beneficiaries aged 65 and over. Each of these individuals will receive a bimonthly payment of $6,200 pesos aimed at improving their quality of life.
However, it’s important to note that there will be no deposits during the weekends of May, specifically on May 10-11, May 17-18, and May 24-25. According to the schedule published by the Secretaría del Bienestar, payments will be distributed based on the first letter of the last name of the pensioners.
The payment schedule is as follows:
- Letter A - Wednesday, May 7, 2025
- Letter B - Thursday, May 8, 2025

Montiel Reyes confirmed that the payment schedule for May 2025 is now available, and it was published after a delay caused by the holidays on May 1 and May 5. The disbursement of economic support will begin on May 7, 2025, and will include payments for senior citizens, people with disabilities, working mothers, and those in the Mujeres Bienestar program.
The requirements to qualify for the Pensión del Bienestar include a birth certificate, a valid official identification (such as an INE card, a passport, or a professional license), a Unique Population Registry Code (CURP), proof of address not older than six months, a contact phone number, and filling out the Bienestar form.
As the payments commence, it is crucial for beneficiaries to stay informed about the specific dates to ensure they receive their funds promptly. The support of $6,200 pesos bimonthly is vital for many families, especially for seniors who rely on this pension for their basic expenses.
In addition to the payment schedule, beneficiaries are reminded that they do not need to withdraw their money on the same day it is deposited; they can do so at their convenience in the following days. Should there be any issues with payments not arriving on the expected date, beneficiaries are advised to wait 48 hours before seeking clarification.
For those who experience difficulties, the Secretaría del Bienestar provides a hotline at 800-639-42-64 for assistance. Beneficiaries are also encouraged to use ATMs from the Banco del Bienestar to avoid any fees when withdrawing their funds.
It is also important to note that due to an electoral ban in the states of Durango and Veracruz, beneficiaries in these regions will not receive their payments in May 2025. However, they were compensated with a double payment of 12,400 pesos in March for this reason. Once the elections conclude, payments will be regularized, with the next support scheduled for July.
As the third payment of the Pensión del Bienestar for 2025 approaches, beneficiaries can rest assured that the government is committed to providing essential economic support to vulnerable populations. The initiative aims to reduce inequality and ensure that older adults can lead dignified lives.
In summary, the payment schedule for the Pensión del Bienestar in May 2025 is crucial for millions of Mexicans. The detailed schedule and requirements ensure that all eligible beneficiaries can receive their payments on time, helping to alleviate financial burdens and improve their quality of life.
