Bill overview
This bill would allow New Jersey students receiving financial aid through the Educational Opportunity Fund to qualify for SNAP benefits without meeting the usual 20-hour weekly work requirement. Currently, students receiving this aid must work to be eligible for SNAP. This change aims to support students pursuing higher education who may also face financial hardship. The state will need to obtain federal approval before implementing this policy change.
