IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section
1.
That
section 4141.29 of the Revised Code be amended to read as follows:
Sec.
4141.29.
Each
eligible individual shall receive benefits as compensation for loss
of remuneration due to involuntary total or partial unemployment in
the amounts and subject to the conditions stipulated in this chapter.
(A)
No individual is entitled to a waiting period or benefits for any
week unless the individual:
(1)
Has filed a valid application for determination of benefit rights in
accordance with section 4141.28 of the Revised Code;
(2)
Has made a claim for benefits in accordance with section 4141.28 of
the Revised Code;
(3)(a)
Has registered for work and thereafter continues to report to an
employment office or other registration place maintained or

shall be made in accordance with the time limits, frequency, and
manner prescribed by the director.
(b)
For purposes of division (A)(3) of this section, an individual has
"registered" upon doing any of the following:
(i)
Filing an application for benefit rights;
(ii)
Making a weekly claim for benefits;
(iii)
Reopening an existing claim following a period of employment or
nonreporting.
(c)
After an applicant is registered, that registration continues for a
period of three calendar weeks, including the week during which the
applicant registered. However, an individual is not registered for
purposes of division (A)(3) of this section during any period in
which the individual fails to report, as instructed by the director,
or fails to reopen an existing claim following a period of
employment.
(d)
The director may, for good cause, extend the period of registration.
(e)
For purposes of this section, "report" means contact by
phone, access electronically, or be present for an in-person
appointment, as designated by the director.

provided in division (A)(4)(a)(ii)
or
,
(iii)
,
or (v)
of this section, is actively seeking suitable work either in a
locality in which the individual has earned wages subject to this
chapter during the individual's base period, or if the individual
leaves that locality, then in a locality where suitable work normally
is performed.
(ii)
The director may waive the requirement that a claimant be actively
seeking work when the director finds that the individual has been
laid off and the employer who laid the individual off has notified
the director within ten days after the layoff, that work is expected
to be available for the individual within a specified number of days
not to exceed forty-five calendar days following the last day the
individual worked. In the event the individual is not recalled within
the specified period, this waiver shall cease to be operative with
respect to that layoff.
(iii)
The director may waive the requirement that a claimant be actively
seeking work if the director determines that the individual has been
laid off and the employer who laid the individual off has notified
the director in accordance with division (C) of section 4141.28 of
the Revised Code that the employer has closed the employer's entire
plant or part of the employer's plant for a purpose other than
inventory or vacation that will cause unemployment for a definite
period not exceeding twenty-six weeks beginning on the date the
employer notifies the director, for the period of the specific
shutdown, if all of the following apply:
(I)
The employer and the individuals affected by the layoff who are
claiming benefits under this chapter jointly request the exemption.
(II)
The employer provides that the affected individuals shall return to
work for the employer within twenty-six weeks after the date the
employer notifies the director.
(III)
The director determines that the waiver of the active search for work
requirement will promote productivity and economic stability within
the state.
(iv)
Division (A)(4)(a)(iii) of this section does not exempt an individual
from meeting the other requirements specified in division
(A)(4)(a)(i) of this section to be able to work and otherwise fully
be available for work. An exemption granted under division
(A)(4)(a)(iii) of this section may be granted only with respect to a
specific plant closing.
(v)
The director shall waive the requirement that a claimant be actively
seeking work for up to seventeen weeks if the director finds that all
of the following apply:
(I)
The individual has been laid off because weather conditions prevent
the individual from performing the individual's work.
(II)
The lay off falls between the first day of December and the
thirty-first day of March.
(III)
The individual is not a member of a bona fide labor organization.
(IV)
At the time of the lay off, the employer provided the individual and
the director with a date by which work is expected to be available
for the individual, and that date is not later than the thirty-first
day of March.
(b)(i)
The individual shall be instructed as to the efforts that the
individual must make in the search for suitable work, including that,
within six months after October 11, 2013, the individual shall
register with the OhioMeansJobs web site, except in any of the
following circumstances:
(I)
The individual is an individual described in division (A)(4)(b)(iii)
of this section;

under division (A)(4)(c), (d), or (e) of this section.
(ii)
An individual who is registered with the OhioMeansJobs web site shall
receive a weekly listing of available jobs based on information
provided by the individual at the time of registration. For each week
that the individual claims benefits, the individual shall keep a
record of the individual's work search efforts and shall produce that
record in the manner and means prescribed by the director.
(iii)
No individual shall be required to register with the OhioMeansJobs
web site if the individual is legally prohibited from using a
computer, has a physical or visual impairment that makes the
individual unable to use a computer, or has a limited ability to
read, write, speak, or understand a language in which the
OhioMeansJobs web site is available.
(iv)
As used in division (A)(4)(b) of this section:
(I)
"OhioMeansJobs web site" has the same meaning as in section
6301.01 of the Revised Code.
(II)
"Registration" includes the creation, electronic posting,
and maintenance of an active, searchable resume.
(c)
An individual who is attending a training course approved by the
director meets the requirement of this division, if attendance was
recommended by the director and the individual is regularly attending
the course and is making satisfactory progress. An individual also
meets the requirements of this division if the individual is
participating and advancing in a training program, as defined in
division (P) of section 5709.61 of the Revised Code, and if an
enterprise, defined in division (B) of section 5709.61 of the Revised
Code, is paying all or part of the cost of the individual's
participation in the training program with the intention of hiring
the individual for employment as a new employee, as defined in
division (L) of section 5709.61 of the Revised Code, for at least
ninety days after the individual's completion of the training
program.
(d)
An individual who becomes unemployed while attending a regularly
established school and whose base period qualifying weeks were earned
in whole or in part while attending that school, meets the
availability and active search for work requirements of division
(A)(4)(a) of this section if the individual regularly attends the
school during weeks with respect to which the individual claims
unemployment benefits and makes self available on any shift of hours
for suitable employment with the individual's most recent employer or
any other employer in the individual's base period, or for any other
suitable employment to which the individual is directed, under this
chapter.
(e)
An individual who is a member in good standing with a labor
organization that refers individuals to jobs meets the active search
for work requirement specified in division (A)(4)(a) of this section
if the individual provides documentation that the individual is
eligible for a referral or placement upon request and in a manner
prescribed by the director.
(f)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, no otherwise
eligible individual shall be denied benefits for any week because the
individual is in training approved under section 236(a)(1) of the
"Trade Act of 1974," 88 Stat. 1978, 19 U.S.C.A. 2296, nor
shall that individual be denied benefits by reason of leaving work to
enter such training, provided the work left is not suitable
employment, or because of the application to any week in training of
provisions in this chapter, or any applicable federal unemployment
compensation law, relating to availability for work, active search
for work, or refusal to accept work.
For
the purposes of division (A)(4)(f) of this section, "suitable
employment" means with respect to an individual, work of a
substantially equal or higher skill level than the individual's past
adversely affected employment, as defined for the purposes of the
"Trade Act of 1974," 88 Stat. 1978, 19 U.S.C.A. 2101, and

services, if the individual has been determined to be likely to
exhaust benefits under this chapter, including compensation payable
pursuant to 5 U.S.C.A. Chapter 85, other than extended compensation,
and needs reemployment services pursuant to the profiling system
established by the director under division (K) of this section,
unless the director determines that:
(a)
The individual has completed such services; or
(b)
There is justifiable cause for the claimant's failure to participate
in such services.
Ineligibility
for failure to participate in reemployment services as described in
division (A)(6) of this section shall be for the week or weeks in
which the claimant was scheduled and failed to participate without
justifiable cause.
(7)
Participates in the reemployment and eligibility assessment program,
or other reemployment services, as required by the director. As used
in division (A)(7) of this section, "reemployment services"
includes job search assistance activities, skills assessments, and
the provision of labor market statistics or analysis.
(a)
For purposes of division (A)(7) of this section, participation is
required unless the director determines that either of the following
circumstances applies to the individual:
(i)
The individual has completed similar services.
(ii)
Justifiable cause exists for the failure of the individual to
participate in those services.
(b)
Within six months after October 11, 2013, notwithstanding any earlier
contact an individual may have had with a local OhioMeansJobs center,
as defined in section 6301.01 of the Revised Code, beginning with the
eighth week after the week during which an individual first files a
valid application for determination of benefit rights in the
individual's benefit year, the individual shall report to a local
OhioMeansJobs center for reemployment services in the manner
prescribed by the director.
(c)
An individual whose active search for work requirement has been
waived under division (A)(4)(a) of this section or is considered to
be satisfied under division (A)(4)(c), (d), or (e) of this section is
exempt from the requirements of division (A)(7) of this section.
(B)
An individual suffering total or partial unemployment is eligible for
benefits for unemployment occurring subsequent to a waiting period of
one week and no benefits shall be payable during this required
waiting period. Not more than one week of waiting period shall be
required of any individual in any benefit year in order to establish
the individual's eligibility for total or partial unemployment
benefits.
(C)
The waiting period for total or partial unemployment shall commence
on the first day of the first week with respect to which the
individual first files a claim for benefits at an employment office
or other place of registration maintained or designated by the
director or on the first day of the first week with respect to which
the individual has otherwise filed a claim for benefits in accordance
with the rules of the department of job and family services, provided
such claim is allowed by the director.
(D)
Notwithstanding division (A) of this section, no individual may serve
a waiting period or be paid benefits under the following conditions:
(1)
For any week with respect to which the director finds that:
(a)
The individual's unemployment was due to a labor dispute other than a
lockout at any factory, establishment, or other premises located in
this or any other state and owned or operated by the employer by
which the individual is or was last employed; and for so long as the
individual's unemployment is due to such labor dispute. No individual
shall be disqualified under this provision if either of the following
applies:
(i)
The individual's employment was with such employer at any factory,
establishment, or premises located in this state, owned or operated
by such employer, other than the factory, establishment, or premises
at which the labor dispute exists, if it is shown that the individual
is not financing, participating in, or directly interested in such
labor dispute;
(ii)
The individual's employment was with an employer not involved in the
labor dispute but whose place of business was located within the same
premises as the employer engaged in the dispute, unless the
individual's employer is a wholly owned subsidiary of the employer
engaged in the dispute, or unless the individual actively
participates in or voluntarily stops work because of such dispute. If
it is established that the claimant was laid off for an indefinite
period and not recalled to work prior to the dispute, or was
separated by the employer prior to the dispute for reasons other than
the labor dispute, or that the individual obtained a bona fide job
with another employer while the dispute was still in progress, such
labor dispute shall not render the employee ineligible for benefits.
(b)
The individual has been given a disciplinary layoff for misconduct in
connection with the individual's work.
(2)
For the duration of the individual's unemployment if the director
finds that:
(a)
The individual quit work without just cause or has been discharged
for just cause in connection with the individual's work, provided
division (D)(2) of this section does not apply to the separation of a
person under any of the following circumstances:
(i)
Separation from employment for the purpose of entering the armed
forces of the United States if the individual is inducted into the
armed forces within one of the following periods:
(I)
Thirty days after separation;
(II)
One hundred eighty days after separation if the individual's date of
induction is delayed solely at the discretion of the armed forces.
(ii)
Separation from employment pursuant to a labor-management contract or
agreement, or pursuant to an established employer plan, program, or
policy, which permits the employee, because of lack of work, to
accept a separation from employment;
(iii)
The individual has left employment to accept a recall from a prior
employer or, except as provided in division (D)(2)(a)(iv) of this
section, to accept other employment as provided under section
4141.291 of the Revised Code, or left or was separated from
employment that was concurrent employment at the time of the most
recent separation or within six weeks prior to the most recent
separation where the remuneration, hours, or other conditions of such
concurrent employment were substantially less favorable than the
individual's most recent employment and where such employment, if
offered as new work, would be considered not suitable under the
provisions of divisions (E) and (F) of this section. Any benefits
that would otherwise be chargeable to the account of the employer
from whom an individual has left employment or was separated from
employment that was concurrent employment under conditions described
in division (D)(2)(a)(iii) of this section, shall instead be charged
to the mutualized account created by division (B) of section 4141.25
of the Revised Code, except that any benefits chargeable to the
account of a reimbursing employer under division (D)(2)(a)(iii) of
this section shall be charged to the account of the reimbursing
employer and not to the mutualized account, except as provided in
division (D)(2) of section 4141.24 of the Revised Code.
(iv)
When an individual has been issued a definite layoff date by the
individual's employer and before the layoff date, the individual
quits to accept other employment, the provisions of division
(D)(2)(a)(iii) of this section apply and no disqualification shall be
imposed under division (D) of this section. However, if the
individual fails to meet the employment and earnings requirements of
division (A)(2) of section 4141.291 of the Revised Code, then the
individual, pursuant to division (A)(5) of this section, shall be
ineligible for benefits for any week of unemployment that occurs
prior to the layoff date.
(v)
The individual's spouse is a member of the armed forces of the United
States who is on active duty or a member of the commissioned corps of
the national oceanic and atmospheric administration or public health
service, the spouse is the subject of a transfer, the individual left
employment to accompany the individual's spouse to a location from
which it is impractical to commute to the individual's place of
employment, and upon arrival at the new place of residence, the
individual is in all respects able and available for suitable work.
For purposes of division (D)(2)(a)(v) of this section, "active
duty" and "armed forces" have the same meanings as in
10 U.S.C. 101.
(b)
The individual has refused without good cause to accept an offer of
suitable work when made by an employer either in person or to the
individual's last known address, or has refused or failed to
investigate a referral to suitable work when directed to do so by a
local employment office of this state or another state, provided that
this division shall not cause a disqualification for a waiting week
or benefits under the following circumstances:
(i)
When work is offered by the individual's employer and the individual
is not required to accept the offer pursuant to the terms of the
labor-management contract or agreement; or
(ii)
When the individual is attending a training course pursuant to
division (A)(4) of this section except, in the event of a refusal to
accept an offer of suitable work or a refusal or failure to
investigate a referral, benefits thereafter paid to such individual
shall not be charged to the account of any employer and, except as
provided in division (B)(1)(b) of section 4141.241 of the Revised
Code, shall be charged to the mutualized account as provided in
division (B) of section 4141.25 of the Revised Code.
(c)
Such individual quit work to marry or because of marital, parental,
filial, or other domestic obligations.
(d)
The individual became unemployed by reason of commitment to any
correctional institution.
(e)
The individual became unemployed because of dishonesty in connection
with the individual's most recent or any base period work.
Remuneration earned in such work shall be excluded from the
individual's total base period remuneration and qualifying weeks that
otherwise would be credited to the individual for such work in the
individual's base period shall not be credited for the purpose of
determining the total benefits to which the individual is eligible
and the weekly benefit amount to be paid under section 4141.30 of the
Revised Code. Such excluded remuneration and noncredited qualifying
weeks shall be excluded from the calculation of the maximum amount to
be charged, under division (D) of section 4141.24 and section 4141.33
of the Revised Code, against the accounts of the individual's base
period employers. In addition, no benefits shall thereafter be paid
to the individual based upon such excluded remuneration or
noncredited qualifying weeks.
For
purposes of division (D)(2)(e) of this section, "dishonesty"
means the commission of substantive theft, fraud, or deceitful acts.
(3)
For purposes of division (D)(2)(a) of this section, an individual
shall be considered to have quit work without just cause if all of
the following apply:
(a)
The individual is provided temporary work assignments by the
individual's employer under agreed terms and conditions of
employment.
(b)
The individual is required pursuant to those terms and conditions to
inquire with the individual's employer for available work assignments
upon the conclusion of each work assignment.
(c)
Suitable work assignments are available with the employer, but the
individual fails to contact the employer to inquire about work
assignments.
(E)
No individual otherwise qualified to receive benefits shall lose the
right to benefits by reason of a refusal to accept new work if:
(1)
As a condition of being so employed the individual would be required
to join a company union, or to resign from or refrain from joining
any bona fide labor organization, or would be denied the right to
retain membership in and observe the lawful rules of any such
organization.
(2)
The position offered is vacant due directly to a strike, lockout, or
other labor dispute.
(3)
The work is at an unreasonable distance from the individual's
residence, having regard to the character of the work the individual
has been accustomed to do, and travel to the place of work involves
expenses substantially greater than that required for the
individual's former work, unless the expense is provided for.
(4)
The remuneration, hours, or other conditions of the work offered are
substantially less favorable to the individual than those prevailing
for similar work in the locality.
(F)
Subject to the special exceptions contained in division (A)(4)(f) of
this section and section 4141.301 of the Revised Code, in determining
whether any work is suitable for a claimant in the administration of
this chapter, the director, in addition to the determination required
under division (E) of this section, shall consider the degree of risk
to the claimant's health, safety, and morals, the individual's
physical fitness for the work, the individual's prior training and
experience, the length of the individual's unemployment, the distance
of the available work from the individual's residence, and the
individual's prospects for obtaining local work.
(G)
The "duration of unemployment" as used in this section
means the full period of unemployment next ensuing after a separation
from any base period or subsequent work and until an individual has
become reemployed in employment subject to this chapter, or the
unemployment compensation act of another state, or of the United
States, and until such individual has worked six weeks and for those
weeks has earned or been paid remuneration equal to six times an
average weekly wage of not less than: eighty-five dollars and ten
cents per week beginning on June 26, 1990; and beginning on and after
January 1, 1992, twenty-seven and one-half per cent of the statewide
average weekly wage as computed each first day of January under
division (B)(3) of section 4141.30 of the Revised Code, rounded down
to the nearest dollar, except for purposes of division (D)(2)(c) of
this section, such term means the full period of unemployment next
ensuing after a separation from such work and until such individual
has become reemployed subject to the terms set forth above, and has
earned wages equal to one-half of the individual's average weekly
wage or sixty dollars, whichever is less.
(H)
If a claimant is disqualified under division (D)(2)(a), (c), or (d)
of this section or found to be qualified under the exceptions
provided in division (D)(2)(a)(i), (iii), (iv), or (v) of this
section or division (A)(2) of section 4141.291 of the Revised Code,
then benefits that may become payable to such claimant, which are
chargeable to the account of the employer from whom the individual
was separated under such conditions, shall be charged to the
mutualized account provided in section 4141.25 of the Revised Code,
provided that no charge shall be made to the mutualized account for
benefits chargeable to a reimbursing employer, except as provided in
division (D)(2) of section 4141.24 of the Revised Code. In the case
of a reimbursing employer, the director shall refund or credit to the

Amounts chargeable to other states, the United States, or Canada that
are subject to agreements and arrangements that are established
pursuant to section 4141.43 of the Revised Code shall be credited or

chargeable amounts are subject.
(I)(1)
Benefits based on service in employment as provided in divisions
(B)(2)(a) and (b) of section 4141.01 of the Revised Code shall be
payable in the same amount, on the same terms, and subject to the
same conditions as benefits payable on the basis of other service
subject to this chapter; except that after December 31, 1977:
(a)
Benefits based on service in an instructional, research, or principal
administrative capacity in an institution of higher education, as
defined in division (Y) of section 4141.01 of the Revised Code; or
for an educational institution as defined in division (CC) of section
4141.01 of the Revised Code, shall not be paid to any individual for
any week of unemployment that begins during the period between two
successive academic years or terms, or during a similar period
between two regular but not successive terms or during a period of
paid sabbatical leave provided for in the individual's contract, if
the individual performs such services in the first of those academic
years or terms and has a contract or a reasonable assurance that the
individual will perform services in any such capacity for any such
institution in the second of those academic years or terms.
(b)
Benefits based on service for an educational institution or an
institution of higher education in other than an instructional,
research, or principal administrative capacity, shall not be paid to
any individual for any week of unemployment which begins during the
period between two successive academic years or terms of the
employing educational institution or institution of higher education,
provided the individual performed those services for the educational
institution or institution of higher education during the first such
academic year or term and, there is a reasonable assurance that such
individual will perform those services for any educational
institution or institution of higher education in the second of such
academic years or terms.
If
compensation is denied to any individual for any week under division
(I)(1)(b) of this section and the individual was not offered an
opportunity to perform those services for an institution of higher
education or for an educational institution for the second of such
academic years or terms, the individual is entitled to a retroactive
payment of compensation for each week for which the individual timely
filed a claim for compensation and for which compensation was denied
solely by reason of division (I)(1)(b) of this section. An
application for retroactive benefits shall be timely filed if
received by the director or the director's deputy within or prior to
the end of the fourth full calendar week after the end of the period
for which benefits were denied because of reasonable assurance of
employment. The provision for the payment of retroactive benefits
under division (I)(1)(b) of this section is applicable to weeks of
unemployment beginning on and after November 18, 1983. The provisions
under division (I)(1)(b) of this section shall be retroactive to
September 5, 1982, only if, as a condition for full tax credit
against the tax imposed by the "Federal Unemployment Tax Act,"
53 Stat. 183 (1939), 26 U.S.C.A. 3301 to 3311, the United States
secretary of labor determines that retroactivity is required by
federal law.
(c)
With respect to weeks of unemployment beginning after December 31,
1977, benefits shall be denied to any individual for any week which
commences during an established and customary vacation period or
holiday recess, if the individual performs any services described in
divisions (I)(1)(a) and (b) of this section in the period immediately
before the vacation period or holiday recess, and there is a
reasonable assurance that the individual will perform any such
services in the period immediately following the vacation period or
holiday recess.
(d)
With respect to any services described in division (I)(1)(a), (b), or
(c) of this section, benefits payable on the basis of services in any
such capacity shall be denied as specified in division (I)(1)(a),
(b), or (c) of this section to any individual who performs such
services in an educational institution or institution of higher
education while in the employ of an educational service agency. For
this purpose, the term "educational service agency" means a
governmental agency or governmental entity that is established and
operated exclusively for the purpose of providing services to one or
more educational institutions or one or more institutions of higher
education.
(e)
Any individual employed by a county board of developmental
disabilities shall be notified by the thirtieth day of April each
year if the individual is not to be reemployed the following academic
year.
(f)
Any individual employed by a school district, other than a municipal
school district as defined in section 3311.71 of the Revised Code,
shall be notified by the first day of June each year if the
individual is not to be reemployed the following academic year.
(2)
No disqualification will be imposed, between academic years or terms
or during a vacation period or holiday recess under this division,
unless the director or the director's deputy has received a statement
in writing from the educational institution or institution of higher
education that the claimant has a contract for, or a reasonable
assurance of, reemployment for the ensuing academic year or term.
(3)
If an individual has employment with an educational institution or an
institution of higher education and employment with a noneducational
employer, during the base period of the individual's benefit year,
then the individual may become eligible for benefits during the
between-term, or vacation or holiday recess, disqualification period,
based on employment performed for the noneducational employer,
provided that the employment is sufficient to qualify the individual
for benefit rights separately from the benefit rights based on school
employment. The weekly benefit amount and maximum benefits payable
during a disqualification period shall be computed based solely on
the nonschool employment.
(J)
Benefits shall not be paid on the basis of employment performed by an
alien, unless the alien had been lawfully admitted to the United
States for permanent residence at the time the services were
performed, was lawfully present for purposes of performing the
services, or was otherwise permanently residing in the United States
under color of law at the time the services were performed, under
section 212(d)(5) of the "Immigration and Nationality Act,"
66 Stat. 163, 8 U.S.C.A. 1101:
(1)
Any data or information required of individuals applying for benefits
to determine whether benefits are not payable to them because of
their alien status shall be uniformly required from all applicants
for benefits.
(2)
In the case of an individual whose application for benefits would
otherwise be approved, no determination that benefits to the
individual are not payable because of the individual's alien status
shall be made except upon a preponderance of the evidence that the
individual had not, in fact, been lawfully admitted to the United
States.
(K)
The director shall establish and utilize a system of profiling all
new claimants under this chapter that:
