Application process
In most cases, no application is needed (funds will be sent automatically). Households on SNAP will have the funds added to their Ohio Direction Card automatically. Families who do not have an Ohio Direction Card will have an S-EBT card mailed to them automatically. Households with children enrolled in a school under the Community Eligibility Provision (schools where every child is provided free or reduced lunch regardless of income) will need to apply online. Clients who are experiencing difficulties with their card or any other issues, or who have questions can call Customer Service M-F: 8:00am-5:00. Callers with concerns may also contact their local school district.
