ALBUQUERQUE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has reappointed Sonya CarrascoTrujillo to serve a five-year term as a workers’ compensation judge for the Workers’ Compensation Administration (WCA), effective June 10, 2024.

“I am humbled and grateful for this continued opportunity to serve my fellow New Mexicans as a workers’ compensation judge, and I look forward to my future with the administration,” said Judge Carrasco-Trujillo.

Workers’ compensation judges hear and decide disputes over benefits due to injured workers throughout New Mexico.

The Workers’ Compensation Administration works to ensure the quick and efficient delivery of medical and indemnity benefits to injured workers at a reasonable cost to employers.
