translated from Spanish: This will be the registration to obtain the pension of adults over 65 years

As of August 2, the registration of adults from 65 to 67 years old to the pension will begin, which seeks to incorporate 2.2 million people of this age range into the program, said the undersecretary of Welfare, Ariadna Montiel Reyes.
In a morning press conference, he said that this new plan aims to incorporate 450 thousand people every two months, for 5 months.
That is, in July and August 450 thousand elderly people will be incorporated, giving priority to the population of the poorest municipalities and colonies; in September and October they will join another 450 thousand adults of this age range and so on until reaching March-April.

The total number of people incorporated into the pension program will be two million 228 thousand 854 older adults from all over the country.
“We are going to distribute it in five bimestres, first the poorest areas and we are going to go little by little until we reach the whole, so that throughout the country we are going to open the incorporation, but we are going to go in stages. The poorest municipalities, the most remote, will enter all the elderly from the first two months,” he said.

He explained that registration modules would be installed throughout the country for registration; for rural areas, they will be placed in the headquarters where the pension is already paid to the elderly; in urban areas, they will be installed in public squares.
He indicated that in the places where they registered, right there they will be given the Welfare card.
The elderly receive 3,100 pesos of pension every two months.
