The Setlist: Portage County live music for Nov. 11-20, 2026

I hope that you all have gotten your outdoor chores mainly wrapped up, and are setting your sights on some cozy indoor activities this late fall and winter. This week Veteran’s Day arrives on Wednesday, Nov. 11. I find that our country is more aware of the veteran’s plight than perhaps we may have been 20-30 years ago, which is a good thing. There are many programs and non-profit organizations that focus on the needs of our veterans. This is what really makes America great: compassion and the drive to help those who have sacrificed for our country.

New Ohio public assistance verification program arrives in Portage

The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services is using a new system to verify income and employment for those applying for public assistance. When Portage County residents apply for programs such as Medicaid, SNAP (food assistance), Ohio Works First,or certain child support services, Portage County JFS must verify employment and income information to determineeligibility. Until June 30, county agencies across Ohio used The Work Number, an Equifax employment verification service, to access payroll information from participating employers. Ohio's contract with that service has expired, and counties now use the Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform to verify employment and income information. Although The Work Number remains an active service, county agencies no longer have access to it for public assistance eligibility determinations. As a result, some employers may receive requests directly from Portage County Job & Family Services to verify employee income. The Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform allows income verification through: Employee-Authorized Payroll Access: Applicants may securely connect their payroll account to the verification platform, allowing authorized income information to be shared electronically. Experian Payroll Verification If an employer reports payroll information through Experian, income information may be available through that source. Direct Employer Verification: When electronic verification is unavailable, Portage
