Am I eligible for the one-time Economic Recovery Payment to veterans and Social Security recipients?
One component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) contains a one-time individual payment of $250 to about 300,000 New Mexico veterans and Social Security recipients. The payments are automatic and were issued on a staggered basis throughout the month of May. The Social Security Administration (SSA) estimates that more than 50 million individuals will benefit from this payment.
The SSA created a webpage to respond to some of the most frequent questions. If you have a concern that is not addressed there, you can contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or one of the New Mexico SSA offices. You can locate the local office nearest you online.
In order to allow time for payments to be processed and delivered, please do not contact the SSA until after Thursday, June 4.
