By now, consumers should have received their new Ohio Pathway Card in the mail.

Although the transition to the new card has been temporarily delayed, consumers should keep the new card for later activation. In the meantime, continue to use the blue Ohio EPPICard for cash assistance benefits.

ODJFS will mail further information when the transition moves forward.

If consumers no longer have their blue EPPICard, they will need to call 1-866-320-8822 for a replacement card.

A new food assistance card is also scheduled to be released later this year, although the timeline for that transition is not yet known.

The transition is occuring as part of a new contract with JP Morgan Chase. There will be several enhancements to the new cards, including the new designs and additional online servies at www.ucard.chase.com.

For questions about the Ohio Pathway Card, call 1-866-669-6109. For questions about the Ohio Direction card, call 1-866-386-3071.
