Santa Fe overpays Medicaid bills due to $42 million error
The New Mexico Human Services Department found a $42 million accounting mistake in Medicaid billing. Fee for service claims were posted to fiscal 2000 instead of 1999, though funds existed in 1999 to cover them. The error involved multiple agencies and prompted a two day halt in payments while a fix was arranged.

First home on Navajo trust lands marks milestone
Ron and Karen Maldonado became the first Navajo family on the Navajo Reservation to obtain a bank loan for a home built on trust land. After three and a half years of searching, they secured $100000 financing through a Pueblo, Colorado bank, under a 1996 program by the Navajo Nation with Fannie Mae and the Navajo Partnership for Housing. The plan includes a resale mechanism to protect lenders in default cases, enabling middle income families to build on trust lands.
