BREAKING: New Mexico will provide $30 million in emergency food assistance starting Nov. 1, 2025, to support low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities during the federal government shutdown.

The Health Care Authority will load the state-funded benefits onto existing EBT cards, covering about 30% of November’s usual SNAP amount, with at least $100 for elderly and disabled recipients.

Funds are expected to appear by Saturday.
