Small retailers get 90 days to meet SNAP rules.

The Agriculture Department’s new rules took effect last week, requiring retailers to stock a wider variety of products to keep accepting SNAP payments. Mamdani warned that stores unable to meet the requirements in time could lose that option, and joined a bipartisan letter asking for a delay. After negotiations with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and President Trump, he secured a 90-day extension for small retailers nationwide. It starts Friday, November 13, and covers stores across the country—not just New York City. The rules are still there; small stores simply have more time to meet them.
