    Temporary Cash Assistance

    Our agency offers a few cash assistance programs:
    • Ohio Works First(OWF) serves as a temporary support system designed to emphasize employment and family self-sufficiency through programs and services to unemployed and/or low-income families. While receiving cash benefits, adult family members search for jobs, attend training for future jobs, participate in our JOBS program, and/or finish a high school or vocational degree.

    • Our Prevention, Retention and Contingency(PRC) program is designed to assist low-income families by preventing them from applying for OWF in times of crises, helping them retain employment, and providing for contingent needs that could result in long-term need of public assistance if left unattended.

    • Disability Financial Assistance(DFA) serves as a temporary cash assistance program designed to help adults who have little or no income while they are waiting for Social Security's determination on their disability. While receiving this cash benefit, individuals MUST apply for Social Security. The maximum amount a person can receive each month is $115.
