Overview

• Argentina’s social security agency applied the October mobility update of 1.88% and is paying a $70,000 extraordinary bonus, now flowing under the official calendar.
• The bonus is paid in full to minimum‑benefit retirees and proportionally above that to ensure a total of at least $396,298.38, with October’s minimum at $326,298.38 and the maximum at $2,114,561.49.
• ANSES published October dates by DNI for pensions and social programs, with Tuesday, October 14 assigned to DNI ending in 4 for minimum‑tier payments and corresponding AUH, AUE and prenatal schedules.
• In Mexico, the Federal Labor Law guarantees an aguinaldo of at least 15 days’ salary paid by December 20, with proportional payments for less than a year of service and common pro rata methods shared by BBVA.
• IMSS confirms only Ley 73 pensioners receive an aguinaldo, and outlets report an early November deposit with differing dates—November 1 (La Silla Rota) versus November 3 (24 Horas)—so beneficiaries should confirm directly with IMSS.
