NYS Clarifies Student Eligibility Rules

There are special rules that limit eligibility for students looking to participate in the Food Stamp Program (FSP). In order to participate in the FSP a student must meet one or more of the allowable eligibility exemptions.

OTDA has released 11-INF-06 to clarify the following eligibility rules pertaining to students:
a) Students receiving Unemployment Benefits (UIB)
b) Students participating in correspondence school or online courses; and
c) Exclusion of work study income for all students.

Hunger Solutions New York has developed a memo on these clarifications.
