Congresswoman Leger Fernandez introduced the RECA Amendments Act in 2021. She led the U.S. House of Representatives effort to expand RECA to cover New Mexico downwinders and post '71 uranium miners alongside Senator Ben Ray Lujan, the New Mexico congressional delegation, and New Mexico advocates. The RECA Program provides a one-time payment of $100,000 to individuals affected by radiation exposure from the Trinity and other nuclear tests.

Income-eligible seniors and families can soon apply for farmers’ market benefits that provide $30-$50 in fresh produce benefits this summer, part of a state program that connected nearly 28,000 New Mexicans with local farmers last year. This seasonal program, provided by the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH), helps connect income-eligible seniors (60 and older, or 55 and older for Native Americans) and WIC families with locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. The program for seniors also includes local honey. Active and eligible WIC families automatically qualify for the benefits. In 2025 nearly 28,000 seniors enjoyed access to healthy food through the program while 636 farmers statewide took part in the program.
