N.M. Admin. Code § 8.102.420.3 - STATUTORY AUTHORITY
A.
Articles 1 and 2 of Chapter 27 NMSA 1978 authorize the state to administer the
aid to families with dependent children (AFDC), general assistance (GA),
shelter care supplement, the burial assistance programs and such other public
welfare functions as may be assumed by the state.
B. Federal legislation contained in the
Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
abolished the AFDC program. The federal act created the temporary assistance
for needy families (TANF) block grant under Title IV of the Social Security
Act. Through the New Mexico Works Act of 1998, the New Mexico works program was
created to replace the aid to families with dependent children
program.
C. Under authority granted
to the governor by the federal Social Security Act, the health care authority
(HCA) is designated as the state agency responsible for the TANF program in New
Mexico.
D. Effective April 1, 1998,
in accordance with the requirements of the New Mexico Works Act and Title IV-A
of the federal Social Security Act, the HCA is creating the New Mexico works
program as one of its cash assistance programs.
E. In close coordination with the NMW
program, the HCA administers the food stamp employment and training program
(E&T) pursuant to the Food Security Act of 1985 and federal regulations at
Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations.
F. Section
9-8-1 et seq. NMSA 1978 establishes
the health care authority (HCA) as a single, unified authority to administer
laws and exercise functions relating to health care facility licensure and
health care purchasing and regulation.
