November will arrive with good news for pensioners of the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), who will receive two payments on the same day: the second part of their Christmas bonus (aguinaldo) and the monthly payment corresponding to December. If you still don't know when the deposits will arrive, here we share the calendar with the exact date so you can schedule your trip to the bank.
Undoubtedly, ISSSTE pensioners will close 2026 with full pockets, and this is due to the two deposits that will allow them to have a greater amount of money before the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
On one hand is the 40-day Christmas bonus that some retirees will collect, while on the other is the monthly deposit of their pension.
