The report details near 394 million spent through 55 contractors as of March, including 84 million to CGI Federal for the federal exchange, 55 million to Quality Software Services, and 38 million to Booz Allen Hamilton. it estimates an additional 2 billion needed next year, split between Congress and insurer user fees.

Audit finds NM Environment Dept bureaus misstated grant costs
The EPA Office of Inspector General reports three New Mexico Environment Department bureaus did not always follow federal rules for charging labor fringe benefits and indirect costs to grants. Air Quality and Drinking Water charged by budget rather than actual activity. Surface Water Quality submitted deficient personnel reports. The department acknowledged gaps but said corrections were made, all grant-required activities were completed, and no funds were misused.
