ACCS Ohio Benefit Bank Site: Fast Access to Government Assistance....

"Benefit Bank is an online software program that can actually register people and help them apply for a wide variety of public benefits," said Debbie Jamison of ACCS. "People are frequently surprised to learn that they might be eligible for public assistance. And the fact is, if you're struggling, if you're having a hard time getting by, it's worth a check."

Ohio Benefit Bank has matched 70,000 Ohioans with various forms of assistance, from free income tax preparation to food stamps to child care support. Officials estimate 500,000 Ohioans are eligible for food stamps but have never applied for the program. The Ohio Benefit Bank can quickly determine if a person or family is eligible.
