Ohio Food Assistance Program
What is the benefit?
This program helps low-income individuals and families buy the food they need for good health. You get a special debit card that can be used like an ATM card at most grocery stores, certain senior centers, and non-profit meal delivery services (such as Meals on Wheels). The amount you get depends on your income, family size, and where you live.
Am I eligible?
You may be eligible for this program if you have limited income. In some situations, program eligibility rules may be simplified. For instance, if you and/or the members of your household receive a cash benefit (includes public assistance, general assistance, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)) or you are provided with a TANF-funded non-cash benefit (includes informational pamphlet or counseling services), you may be automatically eligible for this program or have more generous income limits.
Citizens and certain legal immigrants who meet the eligibility guidelines, may be eligible for this program. Eligible non-citizens may include: immigrants who have legally lived in the United States for at least 5 years or more; immigrants currently receiving disability-related assistance or benefits, regardless of entry date; or any immigrant child, regardless of entry date.
