Ohio has introduced a targeted $2,700 stimulus payment specifically for residents with disabilities, aiming to reduce financial strain due to rising costs and barriers to employment. This one-time payment recognizes unique challenges faced by the disabled community and seeks to offer meaningful relief in an accessible manner. Eligible individuals are encouraged to act quickly to benefit from this support.
Who Is Eligible for the $2,700 Payment?
Eligibility is open to Ohio residents who have a disability certification, receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or are registered under state disability assistance programs. Applicants must have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $60,000 or less (single filers) or $120,000 or less (joint filers), and must have filed a tax return for 2023 or 2024 unless already part of relevant assistance programs. Proof of disability status, such as a benefits award letter or certification, is mandatory.
How to Apply and What You’ll Need
Applications can be submitted through Ohio’s official relief portal. Applicants will need basic info—Social Security Number, date of birth, and Ohio ZIP code—along with proof of income (tax return or benefits statement), bank account or mailing info, and documentation of disability (SSDI/SSI award letter or state disability ID). The portal accepts document uploads directly, but paper submissions are available through local disability services offices. Incomplete applications may face delays, so upload current, accurate files.
Payment Timeline and Delivery Options
Once verified, approved applicants can expect to receive the $2,700 payment via direct deposit within 7–12 business days. If bank details aren’t provided or valid, a mailed check or prepaid debit card will be issued, arriving in 3–5 weeks. Notifications will be sent via email or text. Funding is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis—so apply early to secure your payment.
