INAPAM Clarifies Who Gets Aguinaldo in 2025

Only seniors placed in formal jobs through Vinculación Productiva gain the year-end bonus required by labor law.

Overview

  • INAPAM does not deposit an aguinaldo through its card or programs, as the bonus applies only to workers with formal employment.
  • By the Federal Labor Law, the year-end payment equals at least 15 days of salary and must be delivered before December 20, with proportional pay for partial-year service.
  • Adults 60+ must enroll in Vinculación Productiva by presenting their INAPAM credential, official ID, CURP and proof of address, completing an interview and securing hiring by participating companies.
  • The INAPAM credential is free, does not expire and is typically issued immediately at official modules, with replacements available for loss, damage or data updates.
  • Job placement modules operate nationwide, salaries vary by region with higher pay in the Northern Border Free Zone, and voluntary packer roles do not accrue prestaciones such as aguinaldo.
