The processing center number is located on the top of past correspondences you’ve received from the ODJFS. Business hours are 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday – Friday, except holidays. You have to call them to reopen your claim because you were laid off a few weeks ago and all of those weeks haven’t cleared yet, meaning the correct date won’t be offered online OR on the 877#. Whether you go online or call the 877# to reopen your application for benefits, the correct date you need will not be available. Another option is using the “live chat” option on the front page of the ODJFS unemployment home page in the bottom right corner. If you get on early, you are usually assisted in just a few minutes. Please tell the processing center this as soon as you get them on the phone or in live chat: The date offered by ODJFS as the effective date for me to reopen my claim is incorrect. My last day of work was 07/04/2025 (for unemployment purposes) so my effective date is 07/06/2025. DO NOT use the date ODJFS is offering because it will create a break in claim and I won’t get paid. Don’t answer the union questions because we’re not a hiring hall. Don’t answer NO to the job search. If asked for jobs click YES, then enter Ohio Assembly Plant, 650 Miller Road, Avon Lake, OH 44012 in both job spaces and type the mass layoff number after Ohio Assembly plant. Reopen your application for unemployment benefits using Mass Layoff # 2500451. Your last day worked is 07/04/2025 (for unemployment purposes) and your return to work date is 07/21/2025. PLEASE NOTE: You may still need to call your processing center or use the live chat option to reopen your claim once on Monday, 07/07/2025 and then visit the ODJFS web site two times afterward to file for unemployment benefits, see below: MON., JULY 7, 2025 – Call your PC or use the live chat option to reopen application. SUN., JULY 13, 2025 – Claim layoff week ending JULY 12, 2025. SUN., JULY 20, 2025 – Claim layoff week ending JULY 19, 2025. FOR ASSISTANCE WITH CLAIMS ISSUES (pay held, denied, break in claim) please call the processing center and schedule a return call or you can use the live chat option in the bottom right corner of the main page (once you log in) to get assistance with claim issues and even with reopening your claim when the correct date isn’t available online or on the 877#. Keep typing “chat with live agent” and hitting send and eventually the computer will ask for your name and how you need them to assist you. You’ll be put on a hold and then the live person will let you know they’re there, and hopefully will be able to assist you soon.
