Did you know SNAP rules have changed? Many adults now need to complete 80 activity hours each month to keep their SNAP benefits.

Adults ages 18-64 who do not have an exception must work, volunteer, or attend job training programs at least 80 hours each month.

Save copies of your pay stubs, supervisor-approved volunteer logs, or job training forms to show proof of your required hours.

Upload required documents to YES.NM.GOV during your initial application, SNAP renewal, or if your activity hours drop below 80 hours a month.
