OOD Director Kevin Miller breaks down Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s budget for OOD for fiscal years 2020-2021. He reveals new patterns of service for individuals with disabilities, and he shares what drives his passion for this work.

Signed into law in July 2019, the new budget supports OOD in empowering Ohioans with disabilities through employment, disability determinations, and independence. Demonstrating a strong commitment to investing in Ohioans with disabilities to ensure that they are not left behind, the budget represents a state investment of $17.4 million in General Revenue Funds in the first year and $18.9 million in the second year (an eight percent increase each year) of the biennium.
