(Carson City, NV) — State officials are asking the Trump administration for changes to the SNAP program. Representatives from the Nevada Department of Human Services think people on food assistance should be able to buy hot prepared foods like rotisserie chicken. However, state officials also want to prohibit people from using food stamps to buy sugary drinks, energy drinks or candy. There hasn’t been a final decision about submitting the waiver to Washington, D.C. Even if they do, the changes won’t happen for another two years.
