Based on federal guidance issued in early November, ODJFS issued partial November SNAP benefits. Under the federal guidance, all eligible households received a reduced amount, and some received no benefit, depending on income and eligibility. Check your Connect EBT app or the Ohio Benefits Portal regularly for your issuance. With the ending of the federal government shutdown, ODJFS is awaiting further federal guidance on paying full November SNAP benefits. We are monitoring the situation and are ready to act once we receive specific guidance from the federal government. We will continue providing updates on the situation at jfs.ohio.gov.
