Mamdani announces deal with White House for 90-day extension for new SNAP requirements
The USDA will give small retailers 90 more days to meet expanded stocking rules, easing fears that thousands could lose SNAP authorization.
- On Friday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced he struck a deal with President Donald Trump to delay enforcement of new federal food-stocking requirements for 90 days, extending relief nationwide to small retailers risking SNAP authorization loss.
- Mamdani urged the USDA to postpone the rules after neighborhood bodegas warned they lacked sufficient time to comply; updated standards now require stores to stock 84 items across four categories including dairy, grains, protein, and produce.
- For many bodegas, SNAP purchases account for up to 30% of typical sales, making these stores essential for more than one million New Yorkers and 36 million Americans who rely on the program for affordable food.
- City Hall will work with the Department of Small Business Services and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to help owners identify inventory gaps and connect with distributors carrying qualifying products during the extension.
- Uncertainty remains regarding when the final enforcement deadline will fall, as it is unclear how the 90-day extension affects the broader reauthorization review process for the city's more than 10,000 bodegas with limited shelf space.
