Proof of LIHEAP or SNAP
We will accept proof of approval letters from either of two programs - the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These programs are administered by the New Mexico Human Services Department, and they offer financial assistance to eligible households.
Proof of identification
Valid identification is required for all household members and children, including the PNM account holder named on the PNM bill. For adults, IDs such as a driver's license, state ID, alien registration card, or passport, etc. For children, we can accept a school ID, insurance card, social security card, or insurance card, as an alternative.
Proof of household income
Proof of income for all adults living in the household, including the PNM account holder named on the bill - we will accept pay stubs or bank account statements dated within 60 days of applying for assistance. We can also accept Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or a Social Security Statement. If you do not have income, we need to see an unemployment document or proof of SNAP/food benefits.
What is the Good Neighbor Fund?
The PNM Good Neighbor Fund is an emergency fund that helps low-income customers in our service area with energy assistance when they are at risk of being disconnected once per calendar year. Donations from generous PNM customers, employees, and shareholders fund this program.
