New Mexico Snap EBT

Welcome to SNAP EBT information page for the state of New Mexico.

In New Mexico, SNAP—previously known as “food stamps”—assists low-income households in buying wholesome foods. A household is considered low-income if its gross income is less than 165% of the federal poverty limit.

Depending on the size of the family, income, and expenses, the monthly SNAP benefits may differ. Families of three in New Mexico with no source of income are eligible for monthly benefits of up to $740.
