TO REQUIRE THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO CERTAIN STUDENTS.

House Bill 1999 would require the Secretary of the Department of Education to provide information about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to certain students. Specifically, students who submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have a negative or zero student aid index would receive written and electronic details. This information would cover their potential eligibility for SNAP, the application process, and how to contact the Department of Human Services. The Department of Education would consult with the Department of Human Services to create these communications.
