UNEMPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS
***PLEASE NOTE: PAY
CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR ODJFS CORRESPONDENCE BOX. ODJFS IS DOING IDENTITY
AUDITS ONCE AGAIN AND REQUIRING MEMBERS TO SUBMIT AND RESUBMIT THEIR PERSONAL
INFORMATION. IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION (WHETHER YOU’VE ALREADY DONE
IT OR NOT) TIMELY, THEY WILL NOT PAY YOU. THE DOCUMENTS THEY ARE REQUIRING FOR
THE AUDIT ARE YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE, SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND
A VOIDED CHECK IF YOU RECEIVE YOUR PAYMENTS BY DIRECT DEPOSIT. THEY WILL NOT
ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN THESE FOUR DOCUMENTS SENT TO THEM BY THE DATE STATED
IN THE CORRESPONDENCE.
Due to the parts shortage, the current layoff
will be extended an additional week, returning
to work on 11/15/2021. There will be no need to restart your claim unless
your claim has expired.
On Sunday,
11/14/2021, log in and answer the questions again, just as you will on this
Sunday, 11/07/2021.
Members with a last day worked 10/29/2021 will
receive holiday pay for Veterans Day, November 11th and that holiday pay must be claimed.
Example: 8 hours x your base rate of pay
= what you claim for income on unemployment for week ending 11/13/2021.
Members with a last day worked of 11/05/2021 will receive holiday
pay and short work week so there will be no need for them to open up a claim.
WAITING WEEK INFORMATION: Unit 1 OHAP members who were on layoff status and
serving their waiting week will be denied unemployment. You must go to the
ODJFS web site and print your unemployment benefit payment documents showing
ZERO amount paid as well as the document under the “Claim Details” section,
“View Claim Summary/Payment History” that shows “WW Served” as the most current
status and take them to Human Resources to sign up for your SUB pay. If you aren’t able to print your paystub
showing ZERO AMOUNT PAID, print ANYTHING from the ODJFS with your Social
Security number on it and use that instead. Signing up for SUB this time
will start your auto SUB for one year in the event of future layoffs.
