Ohio Gov. DeWine Offers Updates to Funding for SNAP, WIC

Several updates were provided by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine on the state’s ongoing efforts to support Ohio families being affected by the suspension of SNAP benefits. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services said SNAP benefits will not be available this week after receiving new federal guidance this week from the USDA. But, DeWine said that last week’s plan to provide up to $25 million in food assistance to help families continues to move forward. Additionally, Ohio’s Women, Infants, and Children program will continue to offer food benefits using a $10.3 million grant from the USDA.
