AI Summary
This bill amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require institutions of higher education that receive federal work-study grants to notify eligible students (those receiving work-study assistance) about their potential eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. The notification must include information on SNAP eligibility requirements, the process for obtaining more information and accessing benefits, and contact information for the local SNAP office. The bill also requires the Secretary of Education, in consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture, to provide guidance to states and institutions on how to identify and communicate with students who are likely to be eligible for SNAP, including those in state or federally financed work-study programs.
