Student Food Security: Expanding Access to Assistance Programs

This act aims to ease student access to food assistance programs like SNAP by broadening eligibility criteria. It also establishes pilot programs to reduce student food insecurity and improves data coordination among federal agencies to better identify students in need of support.
Key points
More students will be eligible for food assistance (SNAP), including those living in dorms and low-income students.
Colleges can test new ways to deliver SNAP benefits, such as for meals in campus dining halls.
Increased data sharing between federal agencies will help students learn about available support programs, including food, housing, and childcare assistance.
Colleges will receive grants for research and initiatives to reduce student food and housing insecurity.
