The SNAP E&T program connects participants with job search assistance, training opportunities, and other employment supports.

If you have questions about your SNAP case or eligibility, you can contact the SNAP E&T Customer Service Hotline: 1-844-640-6446.

Why was I sent to OhioMeansJobs?

This program is a volunteer program only. If you believe that you were referred to this program in error, please contact the SNAP E&T Customer Service Hotline: 1-844-640-6446.

I’m retired and don’t plan to work again. Why am I being asked to participate?

If you believe you may qualify for an exemption or have questions about your case, please contact the SNAP E&T Customer Service Hotline: 1-844-640-6446.

Why do I have to complete these assessments or tests?

What do my assessment scores mean?

Your scores help identify your current skill levels and workplace strengths. They are used to help guide the next steps in the SNAP E&T process and determine what types of employment activities or training opportunities may be recommended for you.

Will my scores affect my SNAP benefits?

No. Your assessment scores do not affect the amount of SNAP benefits you receive.

What happens if I do not complete the assessment?

If you are required to participate in SNAP E&T and do not complete the assessment, it may affect your ability to continue receiving SNAP benefits after the three months of SNAP benefits allowed within a 36-month period for certain individuals.
