During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" yesterday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said food assistance payments could be coming as soon as Wednesday.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump Administration to use emergency funding to pay for the SNAP program as the government shutdown continues.

In the meantime, Governor DeWine has ordered the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services to give seven-million dollars to Ohio food banks and up to 18-million in emergency relief benefits to over 60-thousand people across the state.
