Limited in-person public access will be offered through the green entrance on the west side of The Job Center labeled “Child Support.”
Social distancing orders will be enforced inside the green entrance to protect everyone, officials said.
The county announcement also said:
- Family Assistance customers will no longer be able to scan documents. However, they will now be able to "self-attest" their verifications during this pandemic by calling 1-844-640-6446. Customers can also turn in verifications at the new drop box in front of the blue entrance.
- Anyone who had a state hearing scheduled should call 1-844-640-6446 to reschedule it. Benefits will continue until the new hearing can take place. If anyone had a hearing scheduled because they were denied benefits, it is important to call 1-844-640-6446 as soon as possible.
- Anyone who needs help with Medicaid, food assistance or temporary cash assistance should visit www.ssp.benefits.ohio.gov or call 1-844-640-6446.
- The computers inside the red entrance will no longer be open to the public. The Workforce Development Department will still be working via phone and email to help those in search of jobs during this crisis.
