New Mexico families will receive full SNAP benefits for November on their regular issuance date or by November 8. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the distribution of these benefits after receiving guidance from the USDA. The state issued federal SNAP benefits following a Rhode Island federal court order that required the federal government to release funds. This issuance occurred before the U.S. Supreme Court lifted a lower court order that paused SNAP benefits across the country. Eligible SNAP recipients can utilize the ebtEDGEmobile.com app to verify their balance or visit YES.NM.GOV for additional assistance. Governor Lujan Grisham has also ordered a special session to discuss SNAP benefits, which will convene Monday in Santa Fe. This decision reflects a commitment to ensure food security for vulnerable populations, including children, families, and seniors. The proactive measures taken by the state aim to alleviate concerns regarding food access during challenging times.
