Food stamps: New Mexico SNAP payments worth up to $1,751 for January to wrap up in 16 days
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will wrap up sending payments to low-income New Mexico residents for the month of January in 16 days.
Food stamps are sent out to New Mexico residents beginning on the 1st of the month, and payments finish on the 20th. The exact day SNAP benefits are sent out is based on the last two digits of a beneficiary’s Social Security number.

Recipients with a Social Security number ending in 11, 31, 51, 71, or 91 should have collected their SNAP benefits on Monday. Recipients with a number ending in 01, 21, 41, 61, or 81 should have collected their benefits on Tuesday. Recipients with a number ending in 12, 32, 52, 72, or 92 should have collected on Wednesday.
Households with a Social Security number ending in 00, 20, 40, 60, or 80 will collect their benefits on the 20th of the month.
The amount households receive depends on household size, income limits, and additional assets. The maximum payment that a household of one can receive is $291, while the maximum payment for a household of five is $1,155, and $1,751 is the maximum payment for a household of eight. For each household member after eight, $219 is added.

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.
Welcome to the weekend!
If you are heading out the door this morning, chilly temperatures have settled into sections of west and northwest New Mexico. Temperatures are ranging from the 30’s, in the northwest, to the 60’s in the southeast. Today’s high temperature forecast will have near seasonable temperatures throughout the state, with Albuquerque expected to reach the 70s once again. The rest of the Land of Enchantment can anticipate a spread of high temperatures from the 60s to the upper 80s. Similar to most of this week, Saturday will also bring gusty winds. Gusty westerly winds will range from 25-45 mph before stronger winds return on Sunday.
Our upper-level winds will strengthen as the jet stream glides over the state. Those stronger winds above will bring high winds to sections of New Mexico. Wind gusts along the central mountain chain could reach 50-60 mph or more on Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service (NWS) will issue High Wind Watches and Wind Advisories for gusts that could reach 50 and 60 mph. Those warnings will be for several communities along the central mountain chain, Estancia Valley, sections of Guadalupe/Lincoln counties, and southwest New Mexico.
In true New Mexico fashion fire danger will also accompany the strong winds this weekend. The NWS will issue Red Flag Warnings and Fire Weather Watches both days for fires that can easily start and spread underneath these weather conditions. Most of these will be for eastern and southern New Mexico. Fire Weather Watches also extend through central and western New Mexico for tomorrow. Precipitation chances are also expected to return this weekend.
Wet and dry storms are possible on Sunday in sections of west, central and northwest New Mexico. Aside from sprinkles to light rain, lighting would be the concern to spark new wildfires. Mountain snow is also forecasted with this push of moisture Saturday night through Sunday. A dusting to a few inches is possible in the peaks of the northern mountains, while the peaks in the San Juans, in southwest Colorado, could pick up 6-12 inches. After Sunday breezy winds are still forecasted on Monday throughout New Mexico before a wetter pattern emerges later next week. Have a great Saturday!

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants in New Mexico can maximize their benefits by supporting local businesses.
The New Mexico Farmers’ Marketing Association (NMFMA) announced a limited-time expanded incentive program during 2026, meaning that SNAP participants can triple their purchasing power for locally grown fruits and vegetables by utilizing Double Up Food Bucks and Bonus Bucks.
“Programs like Double Up Food Bucks and Bonus Bucks make it easier for New Mexicans to access locally grown food while supporting our state’s farmers,” Denise Miller, executive director of the NMFMA, stated in a news release. “This expansion is about ensuring families can bring more healthy food to the table while also strengthening our local food system.”
Double Up Food Bucks matches SNAP-EBT spending dollar-for-dollar at participating farmers’ markets and farm stands. With the addition of Bonus Bucks, shoppers will receive an extra match for locally grown fruits and vegetables.
For example, a $10 SNAP purchase receives $10 in Double Up Food Bucks plus $10 in Bonus Bucks, providing a total of $20 worth of free locally grown fruits and vegetables and $10 to spend on all SNAP-eligible foods.
Bonus Bucks will roll out this month and must be used by August 31, or while funds last. Double Up Food Bucks do not expire.
Bonus Bucks will be available at 51 outlets across the state. To find farmers’ markets and farm stand locations, opening dates, and hours, click here. More information on how to use SNAP benefits at those locations can be found here.
