On May 19, 2025, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced the approval of the Nebraska Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Healthy Choice Waiver. This waiver is a first step in improving healthy food choices within the Nebraska SNAP program by eliminating the purchase of soft drinks and energy drinks from SNAP purchases by January 2026. For Nebraska retailers, this means SNAP benefits can no longer be used to purchase specific ineligible items at your location, including soda and energy drinks. DHHS looks forward to working with our retailers to implement these changes to create a healthier Nebraska.
