Mexico Begins 40-Day Aguinaldo Payouts to Federal Workers Under Sheinbaum Decree

Staggered deposits serve as a pre‑Buen Fin stimulus for federal beneficiaries only, leaving private‑sector rules intact.

Overview

  • Payments started on November 10 under SHCP coordination, with dates varying by institution and some IMSS and ISSSTE pensioners having received deposits earlier in November.
  • The decree covers federal public servants, active military, Mexican foreign service personnel, certain service‑fees hires under the federal payroll chapter, and pensioners, while excluding those on “honorarios especiales” and staff under state teaching coordination agreements.
  • The government frames the advance as support for household spending during El Buen Fin 2025, scheduled for November 13–17.
  • Amounts are determined by the daily salary registered with SHCP, are paid through regular channels, and are prorated for those who worked part of the year; the ISR exemption applies up to 30 UMA (about 3,394.20 pesos for 2025).
  • Private‑sector workers keep the legal minimum of 15 days, due by December 20, with STPS fines for late, incomplete, or missing payments.
