| The Food Stamp Program helps people with low incomes obtain nutritious food. Food stamps are issued by USDA through county job and family services departments and are used to purchase specific staples and grocery items at participating grocery stores. |  |

Eligibility, determined by Seneca County DJFS, is based on Federal Poverty Guidelines including income, resources and household size. More than 600,000 Ohioans receive food stamps. Household size is the number of people in the household who purchase and prepare meals together. Income is usually based on the most recent average monthly income. Resources are bank accounts, stocks, bonds, etc. Some people may be required to participate in our JOBS program in order to receive food stamps. While some may meet exemptions, and not be required to work. | ||||
