New Mexico Human Services Department

The Human Services Department serves over 600,000 New Mexicans each month by administering several large state and federally funded programs. Our larger programs are:

• Medicaid
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
• SNAP (Formerly Food Stamps)
• Child Support Enforcement Services

The department’s goals reflect its commitment to providing the best service possible to clients through three core values: Access, quality, and accountability.

• Access - The department strives for access to support and services for New Mexicans to move toward self sufficiency in life.

• Quality - The department commits to quality by providing services in a respectful manner and services that produce results.

• Accountability - The department engages in accountability to all of our customers (clients, employees, the public and taxpayers) through monitoring, careful explanations and correct decisions. Together, these values represent our fundamental goals, expectations and vision for the programs we administer.
