With such a significant gift of $350,000 from former University of New Mexico offensive lineman Jared St. Aubyn and his wife Megghan, Lobo football coach Danny Gonzales saw it as a great opportunity to call out more alumni to support the football program and UNM Athletics.
“I’ve been saying it’s going to take everybody,” Gonzales said in a phone interview on Monday, when UNM announced the St. Aubyns’ gift that’s set for the completion of the New Mexico Mutual Champions Center, a training facility for all UNM sports teams. “This is a good time to call out those alumni who have the means to give back to support UNM.”
New Mexico reinstates requirement for jobless to seek work
May 11, 2021 GMT
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) New Mexico has joined several other states that have reinstated the work search requirement for people who receive unemployment payments.
Starting this week, state labor officials said claimants must verify that they have made at least two work search contacts per week to continue receiving the jobless payments. They must provide information on when they contacted employers about prospective jobs, what type of work it was and other details.
The requirement had been waived during the pandemic as unemployment rates surged due to businesses closures and cutbacks to meet the state’s public health restrictions. The change came as all but two New Mexico counties are now operating in the categories with the least COVID-19 restrictions.
