I originally filed for Unemployment in Feb 2009 when I was wrongfully let go from my employer due to absense because of medical issues. I was approved and then my employer appealed it and won. I applied again and was approved 9/2009 and now OHIO unemployment is saying that they made a clerical error and I wasnt supposed to be approved. This is horrible! I have 2 small children to take care of! I need my unemployment. Ohio is wrong.

i was approved for uc due to being let go by Cleveland Clinic improperly. Cleveland Clinic appealed it and won. UC made me pay back 8 weeks worth of UC and said that I had to work 26 more weeks before I could get UC again. Im already unemployed how do you expect me to pay back 8 weeks worth of benefits just because a large corporation can beat me in an appeal. If they win an appeal it should just stop the benefits. Not make us pay back what we already received. We are unemployed how the hell are we supposed to pay it back?

Wow its oct 2015 and the fight goes on. I am the wife of a man who is being railroaded by unemployment. They sent us a notice this week saying we owe them money. After trying to explain the situation of not receveing our check, trying to call and being told we would recieve a determination (and never did) going without food because they decided to keep our check but not tell us why...Still do not know why. Husband is back to work. THANK GOD but it is all we can do to catch up with our bills. He has been off of unemployment for almost 2 months now and we are in yet another determination...They have already determined that we are GUILTY AS CHARGED without talking to us directly on the phone (which we wanted a fact-finding phone call. Which we never got. So tell me how they are judge, jury, executioner, without hearing our side of the story. What the hell are we supposed to do, ya can't fight city hall with no cash and we OWE them? What the hell is wrong with our unemployment insurance. They are raising issue with moneys they claim were not reported. We stopped calling in because my husband was working so we were officially done. The automated line congratulated my husband on his job. We stopped calling and suddenly we owe money? We hadnt got a check for 2 weeks before we stopped calling in so how do we OWE money. What happened to our check they conveniently kept with no explanation. Where is my explaination OR determination as to why you skipped a week on us. And STOP ASSUMING you know it all because you work for unemployment...Last time i checked EVERYONE is entitled to due process which we are not getting. Someone out there HELP!

I am now on the 5th or 6th eligbility notice all of which have a different subject line. Now they are complaining about not claiming an amount of earnings when I am not employed. Am being told to either call them to re-open a claim which they refuse to pay anyway. I will not call them again. That's where they do everything possible with their assasine questions to catch you in a lie. I am unfortunately entitled to benefits.

Supposedly lets you upload documents, but they don't upload, and then you have to go find a fax. It's the 21st century, people.

I have been waiting for over 2 months for help! I was denied regular UI so I had to apply for PUA. This is soo very hurtful and frustrating that we have a pandemic going on and we can not RECEIVE help in a timely manner from unemployment! My claim has been approved for benefits on March 18th, YET I still have not received a payment as of today April 19th! And the automated system has the nerve to ask if we are experiencing stress? Push prompt "2" try it and they STILL DO NOT OFFER HELP! Ohio this is not how you treat your people!

I work in construction and every year we get laid off for a few months and EVERY YEAR we have problems with these people. Last year they started that OHID crap in the middle of my claim and ended up screwing everything up and I ended screwed out of 2k worth unemployment and now this year they are saying I owe for last year, which I do not.

was on a 45 day furlough from my employer with a return to work date. They told me to commit fraud by applying for two jobs every week i informed her that i would not take a new job or take work. By applying for work i have no intention of taking just to comply with the request would be fraud!

On 9-20-23 I called the Ohio Unemployment office to ask about a confusing letter I received saying on one line my claim was allowed and on another line saying I was not eligible. I was on hold from 10am till I was disconnected at 12:27pm.
