| If you have recently been laid off or are facing a possible layoff, you may be wondering about unemployment benefits. A recent article on CNNMoney.com answers some common questions about who is included in the unemployment rate and who generally is eligible for extended unemployment benefits. Because the programs can change frequently and eligibility depends upon your individual situation and the state you live in, the article's author recommends contacting your state's labor division. In Ohio, that is the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services Office of Unemployment Compensation. You can also find information at the Ohio Unemployment Benefits Online site. |
