Snap state administrative costs

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services received a $114.7 million formula grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561). This funding supports the state's administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) through September 30, 2022 by covering costs incurred by the state agency and its sub-awardees.

Over 50 local county agencies and non-profits received sub-awards totaling the $114.7 million to determine eligibility and deliver SNAP food assistance benefits to low-income Ohio residents. Key sub-awardees include counties, workforce development agencies, and social service organizations tasked with operating local SNAP offices and employment and training programs to help reduce food insecurity. The funding supports critical state and local administration of SNAP to efficiently deliver nutrition benefits to those in need.
