USDA FNS says students attending higher education more than half-time are generally eligible for SNAP only if they meet an exemption, and that temporary COVID-era student exemptions are no longer available for students applying or recertifying on or after July 1, 2023.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Current USDA guidance still reflects the student SNAP barriers the commitment sought to eliminate, so the promise has not been delivered as of the current 119th Congress lookback.

Hayes sponsored H.R. 9521, the Student Food Security Act of 2024, and continued related student SNAP access work in the 119th Congress, so she has made a concrete legislative effort. However, the named bill was only introduced/referred and current USDA SNAP student rules still retain the eligibility exemptions and barriers the promise sought to eliminate. Because Hayes is still serving the 119th Congress term produced by the 2024 campaign, the promise is not delivered yet but remains capable of later same-term action.
