The card is delivered personally to the recipient of the pension.
If you cannot attend, another person can attend in your place with the necessary documents to start the process.
In this case, a visit to your home is scheduled for a later date, in which the staff of the Secretary of Well-being will give you the new card.
At least eight days before the date on which you are responsible for raising the new document, you will also receive a visit to remind you of the change.
The Government reported that it is necessary for you to keep the old card in your possession, since it is a personal account, and that deposits on the new card will be made in the two-month period following its receipt through the Banco de Bienestar.
The bank has a total of 89 branches distributed in Mexico City, and the authorities clarified that commissions will not be charged for making balance inquiries or cash withdrawals.
You can find out which is the nearest bank on the page of the Secretary of Welfare.
