Bill overview
This bill, the Opportunity to Address College Hunger Act, aims to help college students who participate in work-study programs become aware of their potential eligibility for SNAP benefits. It requires colleges receiving federal grants to notify eligible students about SNAP and how to apply. The Department of Education will provide guidance to states and colleges on identifying and communicating with students about SNAP eligibility. This could help reduce food insecurity among students participating in work-study.
