New Mexico’s Health Care Authority gives evacuated SNAP households in affected parts of six counties through Thursday, November 12, to request replacement benefits for food lost in the October floods. The counties are Cibola, Rio Arriba, Sandoval, San Juan, Santa Fe and Socorro.
USDA approved extra reporting time on November 5 for food bought with SNAP and lost during flood-related power outages. Its waiver lists specific ZIP codes and includes Tribal lands within those ZIP codes. County residence alone does not establish eligibility.
Call the Income Support Division’s customer service center at 1-800-283-4465. Give your ZIP code, explain when and how you lost the food, and ask how to complete the replacement request by the deadline. Ask for confirmation that the agency received it. State contact directory
