Complex Compliance
Eligibility has shifted from one federal standard to state-by-state regulatory obligations.
Two-Strike Policy
Repeated violations result in loss of SNAP authorization for six months before retailers can reapply.
State-Level Waivers
USDA is now approving state waivers with unique definitions and criteria for SNAP-eligible products.
The Challenge
For the first time in SNAP's history, the USDA is approving state-level waivers that restrict what foods SNAP customers can purchase—with definitions and criteria that differ from state to state.
This creates a challenging compliance landscape for SNAP-authorized retailers, who are now responsible for ensuring restricted products are not transacted under a two-strike enforcement policy.
Retailers need clear, timely, and defensible product-level guidance to ensure ineligible products are not transacted and remain compliant across all operating states.
