SNAP Healthy Choice Waiver
Significant Updates:
The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) is discontinuing its efforts to implement the SNAP Healthy Choice Waiver, as federal policy currently prohibits states from piloting programs that restrict SNAP food and beverage purchases.
While this specific initiative is ending, CDHS remains dedicated to the health and well-being of all Coloradans and will continue exploring alternative strategies that align with federal guidance and executive directives to support these goals.
What should retailers do?
- Please remove all store signage that lists SNAP beverage changes
- Please ensure that POS systems reflect no changes in what SNAP clients can purchase
What's NOT Changing
- SNAP products and eligibility requirements remain the same
