Job & Family Services

Masks are mandatory to enter our lobby.  

Erie County DJFS now has a drop box for payments and verifications.  Envelopes are available at the drop box for making payments for Child Support or Fraud Overpayments.   You can also drop off documents or verifications for Job & Family Services (Medicaid & Food Stamps), OhioMeansJobs, Child Support, Day Care and Children Services.   The box is located at the back of the agency by the employee entrance.

We, the staff of the Erie County Department of Job and Family Services, are dedicated to serving our community by providing services that enhance the quality of family life. We value and depend on our partnership with other agencies and private citizens. We advocate self sufficiency in an environment that promotes professionalism and values diversity.
