What can I do about issues with unemployment?

In Ohio, you qualify for unemployment benefits when you are terminated through no fault of your own AND you are ready, willing, and able to work.  If you received, then lost unemployment benefits, it probably means that your former employer appealed the original decision.  You have an opportunity to appeal, the second decision, but you have to be very aware of the deadline.  You should refer to the last page of the decision.  It will explain your appeal rights.   If you've already missed the deadline, it is hard to recover.  In many cases, if you owe the State money due to an unemployment "overpayment," the Attorney General's office will work out a payment plan with you and/or deduct it from any future benefits.

Make sure you file an appeal of the decision if you are still able to do so. If you have not yet had a telephone hearing, then one may be scheduled. You should seek an attorney to assist you with the hearing.    Ohio unemployment compensation attorney www.mcoffmanlegal.com
