N.M. Code R. § 9.2.17.12 - MEANS TEST AND TARGETING
A.
Legal assistance providers may not use a means test as a criterion for
determining whether an individual is entitled to legal assistance services.
Legal assistance providers may question an older individual about his/ her
financial circumstances as part of the process of providing legal advice,
counseling and representation, or for the purpose of identifying additional
resources and benefits for which an older individual may be eligible.
B. The Older Americans Act requires that
providers target minority older individuals with low incomes, older individuals
residing in rural areas, and older individuals with the greatest economic and
social needs.
