New eligibility criteria for FOOD SHARE (aka Food Stamps) for college students!
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, temporarily expands SNAP (Food Share) eligibility to include students enrolled at least half-time in an institution of higher education, who either:
  1. Are eligible to participate in state or federally financed work study during the regular school year, as determined by the institution of higher education, or
  2. Have an expected family contribution (EFC) of $0 in the current academic year
Beginning on Jan. 16, 2021, students may receive SNAP if they meet all other financial and non-financial SNAP eligibility criteria. The new, temporary exemptions will be in effect until 30 days after the COVID-19 public health emergency is lifted. FNS will update this webpage when the COVID-19 public health emergency ends.
