COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The back-and-forth on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for Ohio residents took another step Monday when the state announced partial payments will be distributed this week.
In a social media post, the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services announced that starting this week, families who receive SNAP benefits will receive no more than 65% of the usual benefits. The payment is based on federal guidelines from the USDA Food and Nutrition Services.
According to ODJFS, households that haven't received their November benefits yet will start seeing partial payments this week, as early as Wednesday, while those whose normal payment date hasn't happened yet will receive their payments on their regularly scheduled day. Some households, depending on income and eligibility, may not receive benefits, ODJFS added.
The announcement comes after a back-and-forth between court rulings and administration edicts starting at the beginning of the month and throwing SNAP recipients into a state of uncertainty. The Trump administration initially said it was halting SNAP payments until the government shutdown ended; a court ruled that the administration must fund the benefits.
Jockeying between the administration and the courts ended on Monday, when, after the United States Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to halt benefits, bumping the matter to a lower court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit rejected the administration's request, moving the plan for partial payments forward.
SNAP was paused due to the federal government shutdown; the U.S. Senate is currently in the process of ending the shutdown.
SNAP, formerly known as the food stamp program, gives people in need a set amount of money every month to purchase groceries. In 2024, approximately 1 in 8 Americans -- 41.7 million people -- received some SNAP benefits. In Ohio, approximately 1.4 million of the state's 11.9 million people -- nearly 12% -- receive SNAP benefits.
