The legislation also improves Ohio’s unemployment compensation system, which was overwhelmed by the sudden increase in claims filed due to COVID-19. Included in the improvements to the system is the creation of the Unemployment Compensation Modernization and Improvement Council.

“I was proud to support House Bill 614 today,” said Scherer. “The legislation not only fixes Ohio’s troubled unemployment compensation system, but aids our local communities who are struggling during the pandemic through the COVID-19 relief funding.”



The legislation contains an emergency clause and will be effective immediately upon the Governor’s signature.
