Overview
- Adults 60+ only receive an aguinaldo if they are formally hired via INAPAM’s Vinculación Productiva and registered with IMSS, with payment made by the employer.
- Under the Federal Labor Law (Article 87), the bonus must equal at least 15 days of salary, with a proportional amount if less than a year has been worked.
- Most outlets report the payment deadline as before December 20, though one report cites November 20, creating a noted discrepancy.
- The program has two pathways—company employment and volunteer bagging—and only the company contract modality confers benefits such as aguinaldo.
- Enrollment requires being 60 or older, holding a valid INAPAM card, presenting official ID and CURP, and completing the application and interview at INAPAM modules; IMSS/ISSSTE pensioners may also seek paid roles to supplement income.
