This COWC video is from January 2021 and many pandemic programs have changed since then. If you have questions about unemployment or pandemic assistance please contact us for up to date information.
Learn about existing state and federal programs, common misperceptions about applying for and receiving UI, and Ohio’s return-to-work policy. We also discuss current paid sick leave and emergency family medical leave laws, and the impact of pandemic-related school and child care facilities closings on parents and children.
Thank you to Petee Talley, former Secretary-Treasurer of the Ohio AFL-CIO, Elizabeth Brown, Columbus City Council President Pro Tempore, Lisa Ochs, CEO of Ohio Nurses Association, Hannah Halbert, Executive Director of Policy Matters Ohio, and the Up Creative team.
We also hosted a webinar on this topic with more information and answered questions from the community. You can view that webinar here.
