In recognition of their lifelong contributions to Baja California’s development, senior citizens across the state will receive stipends of $2,600 pesos to help cover everyday expenses and ease household financial pressures. Championed by Governor Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda, the initiative will be expedited throughout November and December, aiming to reach a total of 10,000 beneficiaries by the close of 2026.
Speaking at a distribution event, the governor announced that recipients will also receive an extra stipend in December, along with a Christmas dinner voucher to help offset year-end holiday costs.
Governor Marina del Pilar noted that the program is designed to also honor those who have spent decades building up their families and communities, giving them greater freedom to pursue personal goals in retirement.
“Dreams have no limits; they know no age and no borders,” the governor said. “In my administration, we have worked to create the right conditions so that everyone can keep building their dreams.”
According to Welfare Secretary Felipe de Jesús Gamboa Valdez, the state distributed 1,599 stipends in August and another 2,904 across September and October. An additional 5,487 payments are scheduled for the November–December period to fulfill the program’s annual target.
Speaking on behalf of the recipients, Ramona Martina Coronel Delgado thanked state officials for the assistance, noting that the funds offer vital support for managing household necessities and day-to-day living costs.
Through these disbursements, the state aims to ensure older adults have the resources they need for daily life while formally recognizing their lasting impact on Baja California’s communities.
