Student Food Security Act of 2021

The Student Food Security Act of 2021 proposes to expand access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for college students by permanently easing eligibility requirements and allowing benefits to be used for on-campus dining. The bill also aims to streamline the application process for federal assistance by notifying students who qualify for financial aid about their potential eligibility for other programs like Medicaid and housing assistance. Additionally, it establishes a grant program and data collection requirements to help colleges identify and address food and housing insecurity on their campuses.
