If you receive the Bienestar Pension or hold an INAPAM (National Institute for Older Persons) card (INAPAM), find out if you will collect a holiday bonus this year-end; here we tell you who will receive said payment and how much money they are entitled to in 2026. Get all the details!
With the arrival of the last few months of the year, one of the most frequent questions among older adults is whether they will receive a holiday bonus in December for being beneficiaries of the Bienestar Pension or for having an INAPAM card.
Does the Bienestar Pension for Older Adults provide a holiday bonus in 2026?
No, the Bienestar Pension does not include an additional holiday bonus payment for its beneficiaries. According to the program's Operating Rules, the pension grants 6,400 pesos bimonthly, but it does not consider a holiday bonus deposit, although they will deliver the last payment corresponding to November-December at the end of the year.
Does INAPAM provide a holiday bonus in 2026?
Not exactly, although you can obtain a holiday bonus with the help of this card, as INAPAM has a program known as Productive Linkage, which aims to facilitate the incorporation or reincorporation of people aged 60 and over into jobs, through links with companies interested in hiring older adults.
It is in this way that if a person gets a job and is hired by a company, they may have the right to the corresponding labor benefits, including the holiday bonus.
Which older adults do receive a 2026 holiday bonus?
IMSS and ISSSTE pensioners will be the ones who receive a holiday bonus at the end of the year: the former will collect it in November, while ISSSTE retirees will receive the first part of their money in the first half of November.
The IMSS states that people retired due to Advanced Age Unemployment or Old Age under the Social Security Law regime in force until June 30, 1997, have the right to receive an annual holiday bonus equivalent to one month of the amount of their pension, without considering family allowances or assistance aids.
In the case of ISSSTE pensioners, the amount each person receives is different, as it depends on the conditions and characteristics of their pension.
How much of a holiday bonus will older adults receive in 2026?
In the event that an older adult is part of the INAPAM Productive Linkage program, the amount of the holiday bonus will depend on their salary; however, if they earn the minimum monthly salary, which is 9,582.47 pesos, the holiday bonus could be around 4,700.
