SSI State Supplement - New Mexico

 

Image of the New Mexico State Flag. The flag's simple and meaningful design features an interpretation of an ancient symbol of the sun as found on a late 19th century water jar from Zia Pueblo. This red symbol is called a 'Zia' and is centered on a field of yellow. The red and yellow colors are the colors of Isabel of Castilla brought to the continent by the Spanish Conquistadors. On the flag can be seen a red sun with rays streching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays in each group. This is an ancient sun symbol of a Native American people called the Zia. The Zia believed that the giver of all good gave them gifts in groups of four. Four is the sacred number of the Zia and can be found repeated in the four points radiating from the circle. The number four is embodied in the four points of the of the compass, North, East, South and West; in the four seasons of the year Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter; in the 24 hours of each day by sunrise, noon, evening and night; and by the four seasons of life itself, childhood, youth, adulthood and old age. The Zia also believed that with life came four sacred obligations: development of a strong body, a clear mind, a pure spirit and devotion to the welfare of people/family. All of these things are bound together within the circle of life and love, without a beginning or end. The flag was adopted in 1925.New Mexico provides State Supplements to Federal SSI benefit payments for residents in one of the living arrangements specified in the table below.
