Ohio Rolls Out Online Benefit Application

In November 2010, Ohio rolled out its Online Benefit Application System, which is a new web-based tool that allows Ohioans to apply online for food assistance, cash assistance, and Medicaid.
 
The tool can be accessed through any web connection by simply logging into: ODJFSBenefits.ohio.gov. Participants can also use this tool to report changes to their cases.

Once an online application is completed or a case change is reported, it will be forwarded to Job & Family Services for processing. The individual will receive a confirmation number and an e-mail acknowledging receipt by the county. A follow-up telephone call will then be received to verify the information submitted and to possibly schedule an interview.

Since the roll-out, Job & Family Services of Clark County has received approximately 60 online applications. Filing an application or reporting a change online is a great convenience. Customers can now save on transportation and child care expenses and possible lost wages because they no longer need to come to the agency office to complete many benefits-related forms or changes.

Job & Family Services is excited to offer this option to customers, another way we are putting the people of Clark County in touch with the resources they need.
