Governor DeWine Signs Executive Order to Support Ohio Families During Federal Shutdown

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—This afternoon, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed Executive Order 2025-0D6 [ [link removed] ]: The Emergency Adoption of Rule 5101:1-23-40.1 of the Ohio Administrative Code for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and Directing the Provision of Temporary Assistance to Ohioans Facing Food Insecurity.

The executive order will provide up to $25 million for food assistance to help Ohio families that will be affected by the suspension of federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, should the ongoing federal government shutdown continue.

The Governor’s order directs the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) to give $7 million to various Ohio food banks and up to $18 million in emergency relief benefits to more than 63,000 Ohioans – including more than 57,000 children – who are at or below 50% of the federal poverty level.

The Governor announced his intention to sign such an order earlier today. Read more: *“DeWine, McC [ [link removed] ]olley, Huffman Take Action to Support Food Assistance During Federal Shutdown” [ [link removed] ]*
