The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 temporarily exempted some students from certain SNAP eligibility requirements; these temporary student exemptions are currently scheduled to expire after the end of the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11, 2023.</p> <p>Further, the bill provides that students enrolled at least half time in a recognized school, training program, or IHE constitute individual <i>households</i> (not <i>residents of</i> <i>institutions</i>) and may be eligible for SNAP benefits. (Participation in SNAP is limited to households.)</p>
