INFORMATION BULLETIN – www.uawlocal2000 – MARCH 4, 2022 PLEASE FOLLOW THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY TO AVOID YOUR BENEFITS BEING HELD UP. ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS: If you intend to file benefits for a partial week you will file without a mass layoff number. Please contact your processing center to file. ALL MEMBERS: Do not claim any profit sharing as earnings when you claim your layoff week. Also, if you get to a point that you’re not sure how to answer something, exit the system and contact your processing center on Monday. 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. File for unemployment benefits using Mass Layoff # 2200062. Your last day worked is 03/04/2022 and your return to work date is 03/14/2022. 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, MARCH 6, 2022 – Open or restart APPLICATION for benefits EFFECTIVE 3/6/22. OPTION 1: IF ANY OTHER DATE BESIDES 3/6/22 IS OFFERED, RETURN TO THE MAIN MENU, LOG OUT (OR HANG UP IF CALLING TO FILE) AND CALL YOUR PROCESSING CENTER AND ASK THEM TO REOPEN YOUR APPLICATION FOR BENEFITS EFFECTIVE 3/6/22. When you call, please do not tell them you want to “file a claim” or they will pull one of your weeks hanging out from your last layoff and file it, meaning there will be an overpayment because ANY OTHER WEEK BESIDES 3/6/22 IS NOT THE CORRECT DATE. OPTION 2: IF WEEK ENDING 3/5/22 IS THE ONLY WEEK SHOWING, YOU CAN WAIT UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY 3/13/22 AND BY THEN WEEK 3/12/22 SHOULD BE SHOWING. CLICK ON 3/12/22 AND CHOOSE OPTION TO RESTART AND FILE WEEKLY CLAIM FOR WEEK ENDING 3/12/22. IT SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO BOTH OPEN YOUR APPLICATION AND FILE A CLAIM FOR WEEK ENDING 3/12/22 IN THE SAME SESSION. 2. SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 2022 – Claim layoff week (week ending 03/12/2022). Please DO NOT do these things when filing: 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. 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 need to write FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND 2200062 IN THE JOB FIELD. If you have any doubt at all about what you’re doing throughout the filing process, hang up or log out and call the union hall for assistance. It is easier for us to help you file than it is to get your claims fixed. 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 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. GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING: The next General Membership Meeting is Sunday, March 13th at 2:30 PM at UAW Local 2000, 3151 Abbe Road in Sheffield Village. Please attend and be informed.

GOSSER SCHOLARSHIP INVITATIONAL GOLF CLASSIC: One foursome from our membership is needed to golf in the Richard T. Gosser Scholarship Invitational on Sunday, August 1st at Thunderbird Hills Golf Course, 1316 Mudbrook Road, Huron, Ohio 44839. The entry fee for the outing is prepaid. Members must bring a list of their team members (including team members’ addresses and phone numbers) to the union hall or email your list to linda@uawlocal2000.org now through Monday, July 26th. A random drawing will be held on Tuesday, July 27th at 4:00 PM. Lost time or expenses will not be paid for attending. For further information please contact Tammy Bauders at 419-893-4677 or tbauders@uaw.net. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION: It is very important that your contact information is kept up to date at the union hall and at OHAP. If you need to update your address or phone number or you need to add or change your email, please email linda@uawlocal2000.org with the changes to your contact information and also report the changes to labor relations at OHAP. INCIDENTS OF FRAUD AT ODJFS UNEMPLOYMENT: Members should log into their ODJFS unemployment account WEEKLY to be sure their banking information hasn’t been changed by fraudsters and to be sure there are no eligibility issues that need answered. ODJFS is performing identity audits now and there are deadlines for uploading the requested documents so it’s very important that members be proactive. Many members are being audited after they restarted their claim for OHAP’s most recent layoff (this week). Items that must be submitted for the audit are images of your birth certificate, Social Security card, driver’s license and a voided check if you are paid by ODJFS via direct deposit. If you don’t send all of the items in, they will not release your pay and the eligibility issues will snowball each time you’re laid off. Meaning you won’t get paid. Also, it’s very important that you NEVER click on text links that look like they come from ODJFS (their website but .COM instead of .GOV).  GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS RESUME: The next General Membership Meeting is Sunday, August 15, 2021 at 2:30 PM at UAW Local 2000, 3151 Abbe Road in Sheffield Village.
