RECA provides a one-time payment of $100,000 to individuals who developed cancer or other specified diseases due to their exposure to radiation from the Trinity and other nuclear tests. Historically, compensation was available to only a select group of New Mexicans who worked in uranium mines before 1972. RECA compensation is now available to New Mexico downwinders and post ’71 uranium workers. All claims must be filed by December 31, 2027.
