instituto mexicano del seguro social

The Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) is the main social security institution in Mexico, in charge of the health and pensions of millions of workers. It is currently trending due to news about May pension payments, including confirmation of a possible double payment for some beneficiaries and collection prioritization. Possible pension suspensions for 2026 under certain conditions are also being discussed. Its relevance lies in the direct impact that its decisions have on the economic well-being of a large part of the Mexican population.
