Opportunity To Address College Hunger Act

The Opportunity To Address College Hunger Act (H.R. 309) aims to reduce food insecurity among college students by improving their access to federal nutrition assistance. If passed, the bill would require colleges and universities participating in federal work-study programs to formally notify eligible students that they may qualify for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Additionally, the Department of Education would be required to provide clear guidance to states and schools on how to identify and communicate with students who are likely eligible for these benefits.
