translated from Spanish: Rubén Rocha seeks with AMLO pension for adults with disabilities

Culiacán, Sinaloa.- The governor-elect of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, made an agreement with the President of the Republic, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, so that adults with disabilities in the state can be benefited with a pension. The federal government already grants a pension to children with disabilities, and a pension to adults over 65 and over, however, there is no pension for adults over 18 to 64 with any disability. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador reported in his morning conference on Friday, September 24, that this pension for adults with disabilities will depend on the state governments, and that the governor-elect of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, has been the first to accept this agreement. AMLO explained that this support will be given thanks to an agreement between state and federal governments, where each one contributes 50 percent, and Rubén Rocha Moya was the first to accept it.” These are agreements that we have to make. The governor of Sinaloa has already accepted, it is the first, Rubén Rocha, and we also agree,” the president said. He added that the census will be done to incorporate those who are not now in the disability pension program, “because nothing else has children up to 18 years old.” Then it is missing from 18 to 64 because from the age of 65 they have the pension of older adults. So everyone who is that age and the state governments contribute 50 percent, we contribute the other 50 percent,” he added. Lopez Obrador said he will soon invite Undersecretary of Welfare Ariadna Montiel to the morning conference to release details about this disability pension program.
