Bill > HR4637

This bill, the Opportunity to Address College Hunger Act, requires institutions of higher education (IHEs) that receive work-study program grants to notify students receiving work-study assistance that they may be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. The bill also directs the Department of Education, in consultation with the Department of Agriculture, to provide guidance to states and IHEs on how to identify and communicate with students who are likely eligible for SNAP, including those enrolled in state or federally financed work-study programs. The notification must include details on SNAP eligibility requirements and contact information for the local SNAP office where the student can apply.
