New Jersey S2591 exempts Educational Opportunity Fund students from SNAP's 20-hour work requirement.
New Jersey S2591 allows students receiving Educational Opportunity Fund awards to qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits without meeting the 20-hour weekly work requirement. The Department of Human Services must apply for necessary federal waivers and approvals, and launch a public awareness campaign to inform students about the new eligibility criteria. The bill's provisions will remain inoperative until federal approval is received.
