Pensioners of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) can now check when they will receive the last monthly payment of 2026. Although both institutions will deposit the pension corresponding to December, the dates are different and one of the institutes will advance the payment. Check the calendar!
The last payment of the year for IMSS and ISSSTE pensions is approaching. Retirees should be aware of the date as there is a difference in the deposits, since the ISSSTE usually advances the delivery of money, while the IMSS delays it.
When do they deposit the IMSS pension for December 2026?
The IMSS will make the deposit for the pension corresponding to December on Tuesday, December 1, 2026. The date appears on the institute's official pension payment calendar. Furthermore, it coincides with the organization's general rule, which establishes that monthly payments are deposited on the first business day of each month.

When do they pay the ISSSTE pension for December 2026?
ISSSTE pensioners and retirees will receive the payment corresponding to December on Friday, November 27, 2026. This date is confirmed in the official calendar that the institute published for retired persons affiliated with the organization.
Unlike the IMSS, the ISSSTE usually advances the deposit of the monthly payment so that its beneficiaries have the money available before the month to which the pension corresponds begins.
Will IMSS pensioners receive a Christmas bonus along with the December pension?
According to the official information from the institute, individuals retired due to Unemployment in Advanced Age or Old Age under the Social Security Law in force until June 30, 1997, are entitled to an annual Christmas bonus equivalent to one month of their pension, without considering family allocations or assistance grants.
This benefit is paid in November, so it should not be confused with the ordinary deposit for December.
Will ISSSTE pensioners receive a Christmas bonus in December?
No. The ISSSTE reported that the first part of the 2026 Christmas bonus will be delivered during the first fortnight of November. It is important to distinguish this benefit from the December monthly payment, which is scheduled for November 27.
The institute's official calendar indicates that the second part of the Christmas bonus will arrive in November as well.
What to do if you do not receive your pension payment on the indicated date?
If the deposit does not appear in your bank account after the scheduled date, it is recommended to first verify the transactions and the balance of the account where you usually receive the pension. If the money is not reflected, you can request clarification directly from the corresponding institution.
If you are an IMSS pensioner:
- Call 800 623 23 23 and select option 3 for pensioner assistance.
- You can also go to a Subdelegation or Family Medicine Unit to request information about the payment.
If you receive an ISSSTE pension:
- Consult the official channels for beneficiary assistance.
- Go to a service module to request a review of the deposit.
