Ohio Confirms Full SNAP Payout After Federal Shutdown Resolution
Following the end of the federal government shutdown, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) has confirmed that all SNAP benefits will be fully restored. This guide explains how to apply for benefits online, get emergency assistance, and find your local JFS office for help.
SNAP Benefits Are Back to Normal
On November 12, 2025, the federal budget was approved, ending the temporary shutdown that had caused partial SNAP payments. ODJFS has announced that all remaining November benefits will be issued to EBT cards, and all new and existing applications are being processed normally. The federal budget is secure through September 2026, eliminating the risk of further shutdowns.
