Looking for a Helping Hand in Ohio?

Life can be tough sometimes, and everyone needs a little support now and then. Here
at the Knox County Community Health Center, we’re committed to helping our community,
regardless of their situation. One of the resources we recommend is the Ohio Benefits
website. It’s filled with great information to help you and your family make important
decisions about important benefits.

How can Ohio Benefits provide you and your family with support?

The Ohio Benefits website offers a variety of options. You'll start by creating a secure
profile and answering some quick Self-Assessment questions. These questions are not
applications themselves, but they help you see if a specific program might be a good fit
for you and your family. If the assessments indicate eligibility, you'll be guided through
the application process.

Benefit Options Available:
 Check Eligibility for Cash, Food, or Medical Assistance: See if you qualify for
low or no cost health care, help paying Medicare premiums, SNAP (food
assistance or food stamps), or cash assistance.
 Apply for Cash, Food, Medical, or Child Care Assistance: This involves
creating a Log in and creating an account
 Check Eligibility for Early Childhood Services: Explore options for your
children like Early Childhood Education Grant, Early Head Start, Head Start, Help
Me Grow Early Intervention, Help Me Grow Home Visiting, Preschool Special
Education, or Publicly Funded Child Care.
 Access My Cash, Food, Medical, or Child Care Assistance: This involves
creating a Log in and creating an account.

Additional Support and Resources:
 Stay Informed: Sign up for project reminders and benefits updates through text
messages and/or voice calls. There are many options and ways they can guide
you and notify you. And don’t we all love reminders and help?
 Veteran Benefits: If you’re a Veteran and served in the S.S. military, you may be
eligible for veteran benefits. The website has a form to complete to explore these
options. This also applies to spouse/widow(er) benefits.
 Extensive Resource Section: The website features a comprehensive section with
answers to frequently asked questions, information about additional programs
and services, and valuable support resources. Medicaid information is available
as well.

We encourage you to take a look at the Ohio Benefits website if you are in need of
support. Remember, we are always here at Knox County Community Health Center to
provide you with support and guidance, as well.
