Other Possible Federal Benefits
Since 2020, the federal government has expanded some federal programs for students with high financial need as demonstrated by their FAFSA application information. As a public service, we want to make students aware of areas when assistance may be available. Students and their families should consider inquiring about possible eligibility for benefits such as:
- expanded Child Tax Credit when filing taxes in 2022
- Recovery Rebate Credit when filing taxes in 2022
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
- Affordable Connectivity Program
- Financial assistance from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) to help pay for health insurance
- Unemployment Insurance
- Housing Assistance
