Unemployed Ohioans Could Qualify for an Additional 20 Weeks of Benefits

ODJFS announced this today

Some Ohioans could be eligible for up to 20 weeks of additional unemployment benefits. 

On July 6, 2020, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) announced that extended bbenefits will be available to Ohioans who exhaust both the maximum 26 weeks of regular unemployment benefits and 13 weeks of pandemic emergency unemployment compensation.

“We will soon begin notifying individuals who may qualify for this additional assistance to instruct them how to apply,” said ODJFS Director Kimberly Hall. “Although high unemployment rates are never welcome news, we are happy that we can offer this extra support for Ohioans who are unemployed through no fault of their own and who are having difficulty finding work.”
