Ohio no longer has in-person unemployment insurance offices. You can file claims or manage your benefits at unemployment.ohio.gov or by calling 1-877-644-6562 | TTY: 711 or 1-800-750-0750 during normal business hours.

Unemployment benefits provide short-term income to unemployed workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own and who are actively seeking work.

You should apply for unemployment benefits as soon as you become unemployed.
