Ohio Unemployment Changes

Please note that effective January 1, 2025, ODJFS has made changes to the unemployment application process. As a member of Local 120, you must answer YES when asked if you are a union member and YES when asked if your union has a hiring hall or referral hall. Please also note their new Search for Work requirements- 2 activities a week until ODJFS confirms your Union membership. Calling the Local 120 jobs line could count for one activity and reaching out to a Business Agent regarding Travel work could count for a second activity. Applicants must show 2 search activities weekly to avoid unnecessary delays until their claim is processed. Please see the ODJFS website for full details when applying HERE
