SNAP Cuts Hit New Mexico Families Hard | Santa Fe News
Description
New Mexico’s food insecurity crisis is escalating as over 18,000 residents lost SNAP benefits since last year, forcing families to choose between food, rent, and medicine amid a nationwide drop of 4.5 million participants. A new federal rule mandating 80 hours of work, education, or volunteering monthly is driving these cuts, while state lawmakers and a U.S. Senator push back with emergency funding and calls to pause or reverse the policy—highlighting the urgent need for policy reform to protect vulnerable families and children’s health.
