Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Life & Work

Student veterans would benefit from the bill's provision that grants SNAP eligibility to students classified as 'independent' under federal financial aid rules. Veterans are automatically considered independent students, so this provision would allow veteran students attending college to more easily qualify for food assistance without meeting separate work requirements.
