This legislation amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to mandate that institutions of higher education inform certain students about their potential eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, colleges and universities receiving federal work-study grants must send notifications to students receiving work-study assistance or those eligible for Federal Pell Grants. The required notification, developed by the Secretary of Education in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, must detail SNAP eligibility requirements, the application process, and contact information for local offices. Crucially, it must also include an official document confirming the student's participation in a federally financed work-study program , which is vital for demonstrating an exclusion from SNAP ineligibility. This measure aims to increase awareness and access to food assistance for college students facing food insecurity.
