Yuma, AZ (March 15, 2021) – College students who were not previously eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) may now qualify thanks to additional flexibilities put in place by a new COVID relief bill.
The Emergency Coronavirus Relief Act (HR 133) made it possible for approximately six million additional college students to use SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), to purchase groceries and have a nutritious diet.
