N.M. Admin. Code § 8.200.520.12 - [Effective until 8/1/2025] COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) DISREGARD COMPUTATION

The countable social security benefit without the COLA is calculated using the COLA increase table as follows:

A. divide the current gross social security benefit by the COLA increase in the most current year; the result is the social security benefit before the COLA increase;

B. divide the result from Subsection A above by the COLA increase from the previous period or year; the result is the social security benefit before the increase for that period or year; and

C. repeat Subsection B above for each year, through the year that the applicant or eligible recipient received both social security benefits and supplemental security income (SSI); the final result is the countable social security benefit.
