Ohio Unemployment Extension
Updated : June 21st, 2019
Since 2008, federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) benefits have been available to eligible Ohioans. These extensions were made possible by multiple acts of Congress, including the recent passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act, signed by the president on January 2, 2013. The current legislation extends deadlines for the program through December 2013, as shown in the chart below.
Who is eligible to receive this extension? Unemployed individuals who satisfy all of the following criteria could qualify if they:
- had an unemployment application in effect as of May 5, 2007, or later;
- have exhausted all regular state UC benefits;
- have no rights to regular UC or extended benefits under any other state unemployment compensation law or federal law or in Canada.
What are individuals eligible for?
Individuals may be eligible to receive EUC benefits, which are offered in stages known as “tiers.” Each tier must be exhausted before the next tier may begin. The following chart shows the maximum possible course of benefits, in order of payment:
- Regular UC (state-funded by employer contributions) – up to 26 weeks
- Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) – up to 37 weeks (depending on the timing of available tiers)
| EUC Tier
|
Weeks of benefits available between September 2012 – January 12, 2013 | Weeks of benefits available between January 13 – May 4, 2013 | Weeks of benefits available between May 5, 2013 – December 2013 |
| Tier 1 | 14 | 14 | 14 |
| Tier 2 | 14 | 14 | 14 |
| Tier 3 | 9* | 0 | 9** |
| Tier 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 37 | 28 | 37 |
*Claimants who start EUC Tier 3 benefits before January 12, 2013, may continue to receive up to 9 weeks of EUC Tier 3 benefits.
**Claimants who exhausted their EUC Tier 2 benefits after January 12, 2013, may establish EUC Tier 3 benefits effective May 5, 2013, or after.

Hey, I’ve had the same job since I got out of high school.
For over 40 years I’ve never been laid off or missed a day
of work. Now the company has shut down, I’ve paid my
due diligence, can not find a job and am coming to a close
on my measly unemployment which I’ve paid into for over
40 years. Just would like to say thanks for the screwing.
I was there when you needed me, Ware are you?
I worked for the Government.
Sherlock,
I can understand your situation. It looks like you lost the job due to involuntary reasons. Please consider applying for UI benefits until you find a replacement job.
My unemployment benefits is up in 4 weeks.
So there still is no extent in ohio
Donald,
As much as I am aware, there is no extension. You may call the Unemployment Office to find out if there is any.

So,if we haven’t been able to find a job after the 26 weeks we’re screwed. When I lost my job,my paperwork from my employer stated 50 weeks. I am 58 with a whole laundry list of medical issues…who’s going to hire me?
I can understand your frustration. Perhaps, you can try applying for jobs on the internet.
my 26 weeks are up for my unemployment, I see we can file for a extension in Ohio, but can we refile?

here’s a joke, Ohio’s unemployment. We had great paying jobs, leaved with out the government’s help, we get layed off, no one wants to hire you because the job is so good everyone known once you get a call you will go back. so know here I am in line at the welfare. so looks like I’m on the other side of the fence. upside is looks like the Ohio Unemployment employees will be paying me after all! SO #$%^ you all!!
He says rev up job searches. Good joke. About as good as Kasich’s 417,000 good jobs he’s created. Will they ever base unemployment on people who are actually not working, or will it always be based on the amount of people getting and applying for UE? My benefits are up and I’m screwed. I have 2 young kids so it makes no sense for me to get a minimum wage job because I’ll have to pay for day care and that will be more than would make. Since my benefits have run out, stats will show UE HAS GONE DOWN but I’m still unemployed.
Well, do we have a choice other than looking for a job? Please note UI benefits are extended only on a temp basis until you find a job.
Relying on it for a long time will do no good.
This country spends billions of dollars on the exploration of Mars and feeding foreign children but after 26 weeks when I lose my house and can’t feed my kids and have to live under the Market St. bridge, who do I turn to? Alysa Milano or Sally Struthers?
I’ve been laid off twice in my entire life once when I was 19 and now. I’m 37. I’m being told that I can only get help for 26 weeks. It’s BS! What happened the 20%-25% for the last 18 years that I’ve paid in taxes and into unemployment?
Well, that is the law. In any state, you can only get up to 26 weeks of UI benefits.
What does the unemployment rate of the entire state of Ohio have to do with the unemployed individual? So people like myself get boned because we cant afford to work at Taco Bell or DG? Doesn’t make sense that the higher the rate the better the chance of an extension. Wouldn’t a lower rate mean less people to help? More funds available!? Yay America!
Jason,
We can understand your frustration. The only way out of this situation is by revving up job searches so that there is a permanent end to the ordeal.
