COLUMBUS, Ohio — Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards used for food assistance were temporarily unable to complete transactions Sunday afternoon in Ohio and several other states, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).
The outage began around noon, causing widespread frustration among cardholders attempting to make purchases. The disruption was linked to an issue with the state’s EBT vendor, Conduent, which ODJFS says fixed the outage by 3:30 p.m.
Anyone still experiencing card issues should call their local DJFS office.
