- County departments of job and family services
- Public children services agencies
- Child support enforcement agencies

Programs ODJFS oversees include the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act programs. ODJFS also oversees ApprenticeOhio and OhioMeansJobs.com, Ohio’s premier online career and employment center.
