SNAP benefits are loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer card every month, and recipients can use the card at grocery stores to purchase eligible food products such as fruits, vegetables, bread, meat and poultry, and drinks. Recipients are barred from using SNAP benefits for products such as pet food, alcohol, and household items such as paper and soap.
New Mexicans interested in applying for SNAP can do so through New Mexico’s self-service eligibility portal called YesNM. This application is used for public assistance benefits such as SNAP, Medicaid, and the Low-Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program. Households can track their applications through the portal or by calling the response line at 1-800-283-4465.
