About this listen
SNAP requirements changed in March, and the hard part is not just the policy: it’s the paperwork, deadlines, and confusion that can knock eligible people off benefits. We sit down with benefits and advocacy leaders from Mid-Ohio Food Collective, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, and Cincinnati’s Freestore Foodbank to explain what the new federal rules mean right now for Ohio families. If you or someone you love relies on food assistance, this conversation is built to help you keep your footing.
In this episode, we dig into expanded SNAP work and volunteer reporting requirements, with a close look at why adults ages 55 to 64 are likely to feel the biggest impact. We talk through real barriers: limited tech access, transportation, anxiety about scams, and the simple reality that it can take older workers longer to find a new job. You’ll also hear how food banks are adapting their approach so people can gather the right documents, understand exemptions, and communicate clearly with county case workers. Plus, as is always the goal, walking people through the process with dignity.
