The Pension program for older adults has doubled its budget so far this administration, since it started with 100 billion pesos in 2019 and for 2022, the Executive proposes allocating 238 billion pesos to it, after the age to be a beneficiary was established again at 65 years as of this year.

This budget is almost three times more than what will be allocated to the National Institute of Health for Well-being (INSABI), which will have 77 thousand 503 million pesos to provide services and medicines to all citizens who request them.

The program that grants 3,100 pesos every two months to older adults is one of the priorities in the Expenditure Budget Project and of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who began with this strategy since he was head of Government of the City of Mexico in 2003.

Although the program has also operated at the federal level, in the government of Enrique Peña Nieto it was also established that the age to be a beneficiary was from 65 years of age, but with the limitation of not giving it to retirees or pensioners who already receive a pension greater than 1,092 pesos per month.

But this six-year term, the program has no restrictions, since the only requirement is age, according to the rules of operation.

For 2022, the Executive Branch proposes maintaining the programs under the same operating rules and continuing with similar budgets in most of them for the next year.

The Welfare Secretariat will have a budget of 296 thousand 858 million pesos by 2022, according to the Expenditure Budget Project delivered this Wednesday to the Chamber of Deputies.
