Expanded SNAP Benefits
Deadline: None
Students enrolled at least half-time in an institution of higher education (students) are ineligible for SNAP unless they meet one of the exemptions described in Section 6(e) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act) and federal regulations at 7 CFR 273.5(b).
Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, states must temporarily add two new temporary exemptions to the existing list. The two new temporary exemptions apply to students who meet either of the following:
- The individual is eligible to participate in a state or federally financed work study program during the regular school year, as determined by the institution of higher education; or
- The individual has an expected family contribution (EFC) of $0 in the current academic year.
Questions on Federal Work Study eligibility or EFC need to be directed to : Financialaid@uttc.edu
Office location finder: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-directory
Which state should students apply in?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that students seeking to enroll in the temporarily expanded program should apply in the state in which they are currently living and attending school.
“There is not a minimum amount of time that someone must live in a state in order to apply for SNAP,” a USDA spokesperson said, adding that all they will need to do is verify their residency in that state.
To verify residency, a student will be required to provide documentation. The following documents are examples of what could be used to verify residency:
- In-state license
- Utility bill
- Rental agreement
- Letter from housing services at the institution of higher education
- Letter from a resident assistant (RA) in a dormitory
- Letter from a landlord of a rental property
