If people are coming through your doors and asking where to find help
with their utilities or paying their medical bills, here is what you can
do to help them...

 

The OBB is an internet-based income enhancement program. It connects
low- and moderate-income Ohioans with existing work supports and tax
credits, including Food and Medical Assistance, Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA), Prescription Assistance, the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC),
and much more.

 

While the OBB is available at over 1,200 community organizations across
the state in a counselor-assisted format, it is also available in a Self
Serve Edition for increased access to these benefits. Anyone with
internet access can visit www.ohiobenefits.org  to apply for over 20
benefits, in addition to completing their federal and state tax returns,
at absolutely no cost. 

 

The software is question-and-answer based, written at a fourth grade
reading level and made to be very user-friendly, allowing users to apply
for a variety of benefits with ease.

 

Marketing materials including fliers, posters and brochures are
available at no cost by ordering here
<http://ohiobenefits.org/files/marketing.pdf> . We would love the
opportunity to work with you in getting the word out about the programs
available to help Ohioans.
