Part 410 - GENERAL RECIPIENT REQUIREMENTS - NONFINANCIAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Section 8.139.410.11 - NONCONCURRENT RECEIPT OF ASSISTANCE (DUAL PARTICIPATION)

A. In no event may an individual receive food stamp benefits in more than one household in the state of New Mexico in the same month, with the exception of women and children in battered women's shelters (Subsection B of 8.139.410.10 NMAC). In addition, an individual may not receive food stamp benefits in the state of New Mexico and any other state, or the territories of Guam, the Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico, in the same month. An individual or household participating in a commodity distribution program administered by any Indian tribal organization (ITO) on an Indian reservation is not eligible to receive food stamp benefits in the same month that commodities are received. A household need not be living on the Indian reservation to participate in an Indian tribal commodities program. If an ISS determines that an individual or household has received food stamp benefits to which it was not entitled because of dual participation, a claim will be filed for any month in which there was an over-issuance of food stamp benefits.

B. Disqualification for receipt of multiple benefits A finding that an individual has received multiple food stamp benefits simultaneously as a result of an administrative disqualification hearing and IPV, or a conviction in federal or state court, will result in a ten year disqualification period. The income and resources of the disqualified individual will continue to count in their entirety to the household while the individual remains in the home.
