| Sheinbaum (2024–)

On May 24, 2026 (Day 600 of her presidency), President Claudia Sheinbaum held a large public rally in Teapa, Tabasco, presenting the 'Segundo Piso del Bienestar' (Second Floor of Welfare) package — a set of new or expanded social programs building on the Cuarto Piso infrastructure established under AMLO. Key announcements: (1) SALUD CASA POR CASA: Nurses and health workers will visit elderly adults directly in their homes to provide preventive and follow-up health services — an extension of the IMSS Bienestar 'free at point of care' model. (2) UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICE CREDENTIAL: Mexicans will be able to access care at any IMSS, ISSSTE, or IMSS Bienestar clinic regardless of their formal affiliation or employment status, breaking the traditional segmentation of Mexico's healthcare system. (3) TWO NEW HOSPITALS: Sheinbaum announced construction of general hospitals in Teapa and Macuspana municipalities in Tabasco — part of the IMSS Bienestar expansion that has now reached 24 of 32 states. (4) PENSIÓN MUJERES BIENESTAR: The bimonthly 3,100-peso pension for women aged 60–64 (recognizing unpaid care and household work) will begin payment that week. (5) EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Rita Cetina Scholarships for secondary school students; school supply cards worth 2,500 pesos for primary school students in August 2026. (6) INFONAVIT DEBT RELIEF: 5 million families nationwide freed from unpayable housing debts; 40,000 individual Fovissste cases resolved through debt restructuring. SCALE: Sheinbaum announced a total 2026 welfare investment in Tabasco of over 24 billion pesos, benefiting 708,000 residents. The event was part of Sheinbaum's regular weekend giras (working tours) to states, which she uses to directly deliver and publicize federal social program distributions. The 'Segundo Piso' branding positions these new programs as additive layers on top of the foundational social programs (pensions, scholarships, housing) established during AMLO's 'Cuarto Piso' (First Floor). NATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT: At the rally, Sheinbaum also announced that on May 31, 2026 — marking two years since her electoral victory in the June 2024 presidential election — she will deliver a national accountability report simultaneously broadcast to public plazas in all 32 Mexican states, framing it as a celebration and defense of the Fourth Transformation.
