S. Department of Agriculture . U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced on Dec. 10 that six new state waivers have been approved, bringing the total to 12, which will impose tighter restrictions on what foods can be purchased with SNAP benefits, according to These changes are part of broader budget and farm bill negotiations that have been ongoing since a government shutdown in October 2025. The new waivers will allow states to block purchases of certain sugary drinks, candy, energy drinks, and other non-nutritious products with SNAP benefits. States such as Idaho, Utah, Indiana, Iowa, Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas have received approvals, with specific foods and timelines varying by state. Additionally, the One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law in July 2025, restructures SNAP work requirements. The law expands mandatory work or training to a broader age range, up to age 64, requiring 80 hours per month. It also tightens many exemptions that previously applied. Furthermore, the bill shifts more SNAP administrative costs to states, which will soon be responsible for 75% of administrative expenses, up from the current roughly 50%.Ohio Gov.
