Did you get married and ‘throw the house out the window’? We explain what are the requirements and process to request help for marriage expenses from the IMSS
How much does IMSS lend me if I want to get married?
The amount of the IMSS aid for marriage expenses is equivalent to 30 days of the minimum wage in force on the date of the marriage. (It is determined considering the daily value of a Unit of Measurement and Update (UMA)).

What requirements must I meet?
- Have a minimum of 150 weeks quoted before the Institute in retirement insurance, unemployment in advanced age and old age, on the date of celebration of the marriage.
- Not having exercised this benefit previously.
- In the event that another spouse is registered as a beneficiary, prove the dissolution of said marriage bond or, prove their death.
- That any of the spouses (who requests financial support or with whom you are going to marry has not previously been registered in the Institute with that quality).
- Be valid as insured.
- That the civil marriage was celebrated after June 30, 1997.
Now that you can calculate how much extra money you can count on to make your ‘love nest’, you must gather some necessary paperwork to start the process.
