The Ohio Senate's budget proposal imposes new restrictions or sharply curtails funding for assistance programs like food and cash assistance for low-income families.

The Senate’s budget also prohibits state agencies from seeking waiver for SNAP work requirements. In recent years, single adults between 18 and 49 with no children at home and no disability faced sharp restrictions on food aid. If they were not working or in a training program at least 20 hours a week, they could only claim SNAP benefits for three months in three years. But under the recent debt ceiling agreement, those work requirements will soon apply to adults as old as 54.
The association had asked lawmakers for $50 million a year. The Governor proposed at least $24.5 million and the House upped that to $39.55 million. The Senate’s changes dropped that figure to no more than $24.5 million.
