The program set out in the so-called Queen's Speech at Wednesday's state opening of Parliament will include "a number of bills" meant to make Brexit successful.
After May lost her majority in parliament with a botched gamble on a snap June 8 election, she is trying to secure the backing of the DUP's 10 lawmakers, though talks have dragged on for almost two weeks.
The government said it had met hundreds of businesses and other interested parties to discuss Brexit over the previous year.
The State Opening of Parliament is officially triggered after the Queen reads out her pre-prepared speech from a Throne in the House of Lords.
"The election result was not the one I hoped for, but this government will respond with humility and resolve to the message the electorate sent", May said in a statement.
"As we have said, both parties are committed to strengthening the Union, combating terrorism, delivering Brexit and delivering prosperity across the whole United Kingdom".
New pension policy is not expected to feature much in the speech. Minority governments are a rare occurrence in British parliamentary politics where the nature of the electoral system usually produces a governing majority.

In response, the government will bring forward measures to build a stronger economy, improve living standards, build a fairer society and fund public services, she said.
May's authority is badly damaged as Britain begins negotiations on leaving the European Union. Four militant attacks have raised questions about her grip on national security, and the death of at least 79 people in a tower block fire has become a flashpoint for public anger at her party's record in government.
Arlene Foster's party backs Brexit, but wants to avoid any disruption to movements across the border with the Irish Republic.
But that deal has yet to be announced almost two weeks after a national election which May had called in a bid to strengthen her majority, but which ended up weakening her grip on power.
In a mark of the importance of Brexit to Mrs May's agenda, the queen will set out plans not for the usual one year, but for a two-year period taking the government beyond the expected withdrawal date in March 2019.
Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, refused on Sunday to say whether Labour would support the Great Repeal Bill, saying he would wait to study the legislation.
