The federal government has announced that it plans to issue partial SNAP benefits for the month of November. The issuance amount will be approximately half the normal amount that each client normally receives, according to Wood County Job and Family Services.

It is anticipated that the technical difficulties in restoring benefits will create a delay of several days or perhaps more than a week.

As of this morning (11/4) detailed information has not yet been provided to Ohio counties. Wood County Job and Family Services will announce details as they are provided.
