No, an employee is never entitled to a retention bonus unless their contact specifically states that they are.

Over 95% of employment contracts in the United States are "at will" contracts, allowing the employer or employee to part ways, generally with no required compensation resulting from the action.

Many mergers are made based on the "synergies" of completing the merger. In general, headcount will be reduced to get rid of any redundancies created as a result of merging the two companies. Accordingly, many people at the newly-merged company are worried about keeping the job that they already have. Unless the individual is particularly skilled and no one else at the newly-merged company can do their job, it is a poor move to ask for a retention bonus.
