In commemoration of the National Day of the Elderly, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) presented three initiatives: "My Digital Pension", courses for caregivers, and tourism for the elderly.

My Digital Pension (as of August 28, 2019) is a new digital service that allows the insured population to begin their retirement stage from the IMSS website; it is for people 60 years of age or older.

By 2020 those applicable will be admitted to My Digital Pension for cases such as disability, work risks, and widowhood.

Courses for caregivers...

More than half a million insured receive care by family members, so they designed an online course called: Climss for caregivers with a duration of 40 hours, which is certified.

Tourism
