CONGRATULATIONS to Tim Johnson, who is our newly elected Treasurer
following the Run Off Election.
Please follow the unemployment
instructions below carefully to avoid your benefits being held up. we have been
informed by odjfs that they will not be backdating any more claims. if
you don’t file in time, you will not be paid.
File for unemployment benefits online at http://unemployment.ohio.gov. If you do
not have internet access, call your processing center (the number is located on
correspondence you’ve received from the ODJFS). ODJFS business hours are 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday – Friday, except holidays.
PLEASE
NOTE: You must confirm that your yearly claim is not expired by going under
CLAIM DETAILS, click on VIEW CLAIM SUMMARY / PAYMENT HISTORY. At the top of the
page in the left hand corner, you will see your beginning and end dates of your
yearly claim. If your claim is expired, please do not reopen or restart
because YOU MUST FILE A NEW CLAIM. If you can’t file online, call them to file.
The phone lines there are usually not as busy later in the week. Again… they will not pay you if you don’t file timely.
File for unemployment benefits using Mass Layoff # 2200246.
Your last day worked is 06/03/2022
and your return to work date is 06/13/2022.
PLEASE NOTE: You will need to call your processing
center or visit the ODJFS web site TWO
TIMES to file for
unemployment benefits. The first time to reopen or restart your application
for benefits and the second time to claim your layoff weeks (see below):
1. SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2022 – Open or restart APPLICATION
for benefits or file a
new claim if your old claim has expired.
2. SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 2022 – Claim layoff week (week
ending 06/11/2022). DO NOT claim the Inflation Bonus Lump Sum Payment
as earnings.
Please DO NOT do these things
when filing:
1. DO NOT fill out the information about the union hiring hall. UAW LOCAL 2000 IS NOT A HIRING HALL. Please do
not check ANY boxes or fill
in ANY information at all in
the union section.
2. DO NOT answer “NO” to the job search question. Whether or not
you have a mass layoff number, if they ask for jobs you applied for, you will need to type FORD MOTOR COMPANY
AND MLO 2200246 IN THE JOB FIELD.
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 or email all three pages to ohaphrly@ford.com 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.
