If you receive SNAP food assistance, there are a few changes worth knowing about.
New work and report reporting require requirements now apply to more adults, and some previous exemptions have been removed. And what you can buy has also changed.
Since April 20, 2026, Florida SNAP benefits can no longer be used to purchase soda, energy drinks, candy or prepared desserts. The rules that apply to you depend on your household and circumstances. Feeding Tampa Bay can help you understand what’s changed and what to do next.
