They will notify by SMS payments of Welfare Pension 2022 to older adults

The Ministry of Welfare could send payment notifications via SMS to beneficiaries of the Welfare Pension for the elderly, according to some media outlets. Some older adults go around at CASHIERs to check if their pension deposit has already been made, so a payment notification via text message to the celler could save them unnecessary spins. The possibility of older adults being notified that their payment was already made with an SMS, was announced after in a television interview the Secretary of Welfare, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, said that older adults will be notified through the phone. In the interview, Montiel talked about the advantage that it is for older adults to have a cell phone, and that it was through SMS that the Secretariat of Welfare informs where and when to pick up their Welfare card to receive pension payments. Later he said: “we are going to notify them when their deposit arrives, also there (on the phone) we are going to notify them so that they know when they can go to the Bank”. After this statement made on television, it is assured in certain media that there is a “new way to confirm deposit of payment to older adults”, and this would be through SMS. Despite the fact that the information is circulating in certain media, both the networks and the official Welfare portal have not issued any document that confirms it, so far. We recommend you read: The Ministry of Welfare did not immediately respond to a request for information regarding this issue. And you, do you think seniors should get a message when their pension payment is deposited?
