March 2026 Payment: How to Apply for This Support After the Beneficiary's Death

The Secretariat of Welfare offers the march payment, a financial support aimed at covering expenses related to the death of pension beneficiaries. This mechanism operates in 2026 for essential programs such as the Senior Citizens Pension, Disability Support Program, and Women’s Welfare. Millions of families dependent on these bi-monthly transfers can access this benefit easily. Here is the complete process detailed for you.

Who receives the march payment in 2026?

The recipient of the march payment is the auxiliary person whom the beneficiary designated at the time of enrollment in the program. This can be a close family member, a trusted friend, or anyone the pensioner has chosen as their representative before the Secretariat of Welfare.

It is important to note that only the person registered as an auxiliary can process and receive this support. If no such designation exists, it is possible to appeal to the Technical Committee, although this requires additional documentation and justification of the special circumstances.

Available amounts according to each pension program

The amounts of the march payment vary depending on the type of pension the deceased beneficiary received:

• Senior Citizens Pension: $3,100 pesos
• Disability Support Program: $1,600 pesos
• Women’s Welfare: $1,500 pesos

This amount is paid as a one-time transfer deposited into the designated auxiliary’s bank account. It is important to know that this represents the last deposit made by the Secretariat of Welfare related to the deceased beneficiary. Once collected, the pension record is automatically canceled in the system to prevent subsequent improper payments.

Steps to request the march payment due to death

The process to obtain the march payment begins with a formal notification. The auxiliary person must contact the Welfare Line at 800 639 4264.

During the call, it is necessary to provide the following information:

• Full name of the deceased pensioner
• Full name of the auxiliary person requesting the support
• CURP (Unique Population Registry Code) of both
• Death certificate or official proof of death issued by public authorities

The service hours are flexible: from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on weekends and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.. It is recommended to have all documents ready before making the call to expedite the process.

What happens if there is no registered auxiliary person?

In cases where the pensioner did not designate an auxiliary during their lifetime, it is possible to appeal to the Secretariat of Welfare’s Technical Committee. This body can authorize the march payment in special cases, evaluating the submitted documentation and the particular circumstances of each family.

If you are in this situation, it is essential to contact the helpline directly to explain the circumstances. Prepare all available documents, including the death certificate and any proof that establishes your relationship with the deceased or your need to access this support.
