+# County FIPS codes of areas with an approved USDA FNS waiver of the SNAP
+# ABAWD time limit under 7 U.S.C. 2015(o)(4) and 7 CFR 273.24(f).
+#
+# From 2024-11-01 through 2025-10-31, FNS approved Alaska's request to waive
+# the ABAWD time limit in 29 boroughs and census areas — every Alaska
+# county-equivalent except the Municipality of Anchorage (FIPS 02020) — plus
+# the Eklutna Alaska Native Village Statistical Area, which lies within the
+# Anchorage municipality and is below county-level geography, so it is not
+# represented here.
+# From 2025-11-01 through 2026-10-31, FNS approved Alaska's good faith
+# exemption waiver under P.L. 119-21 (OBBBA) section 10102, covering the same
+# 29 boroughs and census areas (all except the Municipality of Anchorage).
+# From 2025-11-01 through 2026-10-31, FNS approved California's request to
+# waive the time limit in seven counties under the post-OBBBA over-10-percent
+# unemployment criterion of 7 U.S.C. 2015(o)(4)(A)(i) and 7 CFR 273.24(f):
+# Colusa, Imperial, and Tulare (approved October 23, 2025, announced in CDSS
+# ACL 25-79), and Alpine, Merced, Monterey, and Plumas (modification approved
+# February 10, 2026, retroactively effective November 1, 2025, announced in
+# CDSS ACL 26-15).
+# Waivers in effect before 2024-11-01 (in Alaska and elsewhere), and after
+# the documented 2026-10-31 Alaska and California approval end dates, are
+# not modeled. Statewide waivers are modeled separately in waived_states.

+#
+# Only waivers verified as STATEWIDE from FNS FY2025 waiver response letters
+# are encoded here:
+# - CA: statewide, 2024-11-01 through 2025-10-31 (FNS response,
+#   Aug 12, 2024), replaced by a statewide waiver effective 2025-02-01
+#   (FNS response, Jan 15, 2025).
+# - IL: statewide, 2024-11-01 through 2025-10-31 (FNS response,
+#   Aug 19, 2024), replaced by a statewide waiver effective 2025-02-01
+#   through 2026-01-31 (FNS response, partially approving 12 of the
+#   requested 24 months).
+# - NV: statewide since 2024-07-01; the FNS response of Mar 14, 2025,
+#   effective 2025-02-01 through 2026-01-31, replaced the prior statewide
+#   waiver (partially approving 12 of the requested 24 months). Modeled from
+#   2024-11-01, in line with this parameter's overall modeling start date.
+# - DC: districtwide, 2024-12-01 through 2025-11-30 (FNS response,
+#   Apr 26, 2024), replaced by a districtwide waiver effective 2025-01-01
+#   (FNS response, Jan 13, 2025).
+#
+# In November 2025, USDA terminated waivers approved under the
+# "lack of sufficient jobs" criterion, which P.L. 119-21 (OBBBA)
+# section 10102 repealed. After Rhode Island State Council of Churches v.
+# Rollins (D.R.I., No. 1:25-cv-00569, TRO issued 2025-10-31), USDA's
+# February 26, 2026 guidance kept the terminated waivers in effect through
+# their original expiration dates. Per that guidance's expiration table (as
+# reported by Ballotpedia's OBBBA implementation tracker; USDA has not
+# published the table on a stable public page): CT and KY through 2025-11-30;
+# DC, NM, and OR through 2025-12-31; CA, IL, NV, NJ, and WA through
+# 2026-01-31; MI, NY, and RI through 2026-02-28; MN, MT, and ND through
+# 2026-06-30.
+#
+# Known limitations:
+# - Twelve of the sixteen reinstated waivers were PARTIAL-state waivers per
+#   the FNS FY2025 response letters (CT: 68 towns; KY: 117 counties; MI: 80
+#   counties, 3 cities, 10 reservations; MN: 17 counties, 9 reservations;
+#   MT: 6 reservation areas; NJ: 20 counties; NM: 29 counties,
+#   18 reservations; NY: 61 counties; OR: 30 counties, 7 reservation areas;
+#   RI: 9 towns; WA: 38 counties, 1 reservation area; ND: partial per the
+#   FY2025 quarterly status reports). Sub-state coverage would require
+#   county FIPS (or sub-county) encoding and is not modeled here.
+# - The CA and DC FNS approval letters run through 2027-01-31 and 2026-12-31
+#   respectively, but the USDA February 26, 2026 guidance table lists their
+#   reinstated expirations as 2026-01-31 and 2025-12-31; this parameter
+#   follows the guidance table, which governs post-litigation administration
+#   (CDSS implemented the time limit statewide on 2026-06-01 per ACL 25-93).
+# - Statewide waivers in effect before 2024-11-01 are not modeled.
+# - Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands held territory-wide waivers but are not
+#   modeled by PolicyEngine US.
