The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently announced a program to help those struggling to pay for internet amid the p和emic, stating that a household is eligible to receive the benefit if one member of the household received a federal Pell Grant during the current award year, among other possible criteria for eligibility. Under the 紧急 Broadb和 Benefit Program, eligible households can receive up to $50 per month to help pay for broadb和 internet service. 根据FCC, verification that the individual is a Pell Grant recipient can come from the student’s financial aid award letter, 已付账户对账单, FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR), or a written/electronic confirmation from the school documenting the Pell Grant amount received in the current award year.
根据常规的SNAP规则, students enrolled at least half-time in an institution of higher education are ineligible for SNAP benefits. 然而, 1月16日开始, 2021, the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 temporarily exp和s SNAP eligibility to include students who either:
- Are eligible to participate in State or Federally financed work study during the regular academic year, as determined by the institution of higher education, or
- Have an expected family contribution (EFC) of 0 in the current academic year.
学生 who meet one of the two criteria outlined above may temporarily receive SNAP if they meet all other financial 和 non-financial SNAP eligibility criteria. The new temporary exemptions will be in effect until 30 days after the COVID-19 public health emergency is lifted. State SNAP agencies may contact institutions of higher education to request verification of students’ eligibility for work study or EFC of 0. With prior written consent of the student, the institution is allowed to provide a student’s FAFSA data (including aid awarded to the student based on the student’s calculated EFC from the FAFSA form for the respective award year) to a State or entity for the purposes of applying for or receiving State or Federal means-tested benefits, which include SNAP benefits. 学生 may also provide a copy of their financial aid award letters to State SNAP agencies.
