Closing the College Hunger Gap Act

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Education to automatically send information about Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility to college students with a zero expected family contribution (EFC) who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It directs the Secretary to provide written and electronic details about SNAP benefits, including how to apply and contact information for state SNAP agencies, in both formats. The bill mandates consultation between the Education and Agriculture Departments to design this communication. It directly affects low-income undergraduate students who qualify for federal aid but may not know about SNAP food assistance. The policy change aims to connect eligible students with existing nutrition support programs.
