Earlier this week, the state processed partial SNAP benefit payments for eligible households.
After receiving guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), ODJFS is now required to take immediate steps to make sure eligible households receive all of their benefits.
“Ohio will calculate the full benefit households would have received in November and deduct the partial amount already paid,” the department said.
State officials have started this process, but there is no expected issuance date.
SNAP recipients are encouraged to check their balances through their Connect EBT app or the Ohio Benefits Self-Service Portal.
