SB761 expands student eligibility for CalFresh benefits by sharing student data for outreach.

SB761 modifies California's Education and Welfare and Institutions Codes to expand student eligibility for CalFresh benefits. The bill mandates the California Student Aid Commission to share student contact information with the State Department of Social Services, which can then share it with county human services agencies and public postsecondary education institutions. This data sharing aims to identify, support, and link students to on- and off-campus basic needs services and resources, including CalFresh.
