Integrated Recovery GuideOur top priority as your Senators and Representatives is to help get our economy back on track. That is why we worked to improve and pass the American This landmark legislation is intended to save or create approximately 22,000 jobs in New Mexico. Our state will receive $1.1 billion through formula grants – funds that will flow on a formula basis from federal agencies to state agencies. It will also receive an additional $638 million in funding through Medicaid that can be used to expand and improve health care, as well as for other needs the state has identified. New Mexico will have an opportunity to apply directly to the federal government for additional grants, including funding for border law enforcement agencies. Finally, over 684,000 working families in New Mexico will be receiving immediate tax relief through the Make Work Pay tax credit. It is imperative that our families, businesses and municipalities have the information they need to access these funds as quickly as possible. To assist in this effort, and to provide information about the programs and funding opportunities available to individuals, communities and businesses in New Mexico, we have assembled this resource guide to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. We hope you'll find this information useful. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call Kristine Dietz in the New Mexico Delegation Office at (202) 224-3330 or email at Kristine_ Dietz@bingaman.senate.gov. We also encourage you to visit www.recovery.gov for more information. The road toward economic recovery will be challenging, but by working together we are confident that a stronger, more prosperous New Mexico lies ahead. Jeff Bingaman |
