N.M. Stat. § 27-2-26
Money received from other sources; duty and liability of
funeral director.
Should any funeral director accept payment from sources other than the income
support division of the authority for burial of a deceased person for whom a claim for
burial expenses has been made to the division, the funeral director shall immediately
notify the division of the payment. The division shall consider the payment in
determining the amount of any funeral expense payment it makes. If the division has
already made payment, the funeral director shall refund to the division any excess over
the amount that the division would have paid had it known of the payment from other
sources. If any funeral director fails to notify the division of any such payment from
other sources, the funeral director shall be liable to the division in an amount double the
amount paid or to be paid by the division.
