The Food Stamp Program helps many low- income households buy the food they need to stay healthy, productive members of society. Food Stamps are simple to use when you purchase food products at your grocery store.

The Federal Government sets the rules for who qualifies for Food Stamps and determines the amount of Food Stamps that you can receive each month. The Human Services Department (HSD) will help you to determine whether or not you qualify for Food Stamps. This normally depends on how much money you earn each month, and it also depends on what you own.

General Assistance

The objective of general assistance is to provide cash assistance to dependent needy children and disabled adults who are not eligible for assistance under a federally matched cash assistance program, such as New Mexico works (NMW) or the federal program of supplemental security income (SSI).
