Receiving Your Payment
The partnering organizations of NMSHSA, serving as subgrantees of the FFWR program, are working diligently to host payment events in their respective states.
These events serve as opportunities for farmworkers to attend, get registered, and claim the payments they've rightfully earned. It's a streamlined approach to ensuring that farmworkers receive their well-deserved compensation in a more organized and straightforward manner.
For farmworkers looking to attend one of these events in their state, contact the NMSHSA FFWR team at one of the contact points below:
- Email: ffwrinfo@nmshsa.org
- Call: (202) 987-6799
Please be sure to provide us with your name, the city and state you are inquiring us from, and your phone number and email address.
A member of the NMSHSA team will promptly attend to your inquiries and guide you through the necessary steps to access your payment.
