The Mexican government will soon deposit the first payment of the Bienestar Pension for senior citizens who are beneficiaries of this program. However, these seniors began the year with questions regarding whether they need to renew their Bienestar Bank card to collect the $6,200 peso payment. Here we explain whether this procedure is mandatory and what you would need.
With the arrival of 2026, the Pension for the Well-being of Senior Citizens, one of the Federal Government's social programs, is preparing for a new cycle of disbursements, maintaining the bimonthly support of $6,200 pesos for now, unless an adjustment to the amount is announced.

It is not necessary to renew the Bienestar Pension card, as reported by authorities at the time. They specified that both new cards and those used during the previous administration remain valid. 'The cards distributed during the six-year term of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, through which millions of beneficiaries already receive their support, remain valid until their expiration date, and it is not necessary to renew them,' they indicated in a statement.
The general director of the Bienestar Bank, Víctor Lamoyi, explained that both cards are valid and that through them, beneficiaries can withdraw cash at ATMs or tellers at the more than three thousand Bienestar Bank branches.
He also stated that 'officials from the Bienestar Bank do not conduct visits to deliver or renew the plastic cards for social program beneficiaries.'

According to the Secretariat of Well-being, the reason a beneficiary could be removed or temporarily suspended is due to an unreported change of address.
If a beneficiary changes their residence and does not notify the authorities, they could face consequences; the failure to notify can lead to the person not being located and the subsequent suspension of the pension.
