SNAP Supplement Decision in Hands of Senate Finance Committee
Ruth Hoffman, director of the Lutheran Advocacy Ministry-New Mexico, offers this update on the State SNAP supplement, which benefits seniors and some people with disabilities.
The legislature's recommended budget eliminated $1.2 million needed to fund the State SNAP Supplement program which serves about 12,000 seniors and increases their minimum federal benefit of $16 to $25 per month. The needed $1.2
million is now included in HB2 as it passed the House. HB2 is now in the Senate Finance Committee.
