Filing for unemployment compensation benefits is a free service. The State of Ohio is aware some companies are charging a fee to file your unemployment claim for you. Please be advised these companies are NOT affiliated with the State of Ohio and are therefore not subject to the same laws regarding your privacy and the confidentiality of your Unemployment claim.

Information on Extended Benefits (Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 2008)

On June 30, 2008, the President signed into law HR 2642 that included provisions authorizing up to 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits. The program will not officially begin until Sunday, July 6, 2008.

ODJFS will be sending out notifications to potentially eligible individuals in the near future. We ask that individuals please refrain from filing until they receive their notice.

We are working diligently on our systems to both take applications and make payments under this new program.

For further information please check the EUC 08 FAQ page.
