FOOD STAMPS
The
Food Stamp program is a Federal program designed to supplement the buying power
of low income individuals and families so that they can better meet their
nutritional needs. In Ohio, food stamp coupons are no longer used. Benefits
are issued through an electronic debit card called the
Ohio Direction
Card. This card may be used at participating retail stores to purchase
food.
In
order to qualify for the Food Stamp Program, households must meet several
program specific requirements including resource and income limits. All
able-bodied adults are also required to participate in work program
activities.
