If you qualify for SNAP you’ll receive an Ohio Direction Card, or EBT Card, in the mail, if you have not previously been issued one, which is like a debit card for buying groceries. You can use this card at approved stores and farm markets to buy the food you need.
There are three eligibility tests for SNAP: the Gross Income, the Net Income, and the Asset tests. Depending on your state and whether your household has a member who is 60 or older or has a disability, your household may be exempt from the Gross Income, Net Income, and/or Asset tests.
