Waive certain unemployment claim work-seeking requirements

Summary

The bill changes Ohio’s unemployment law so that claimants do not have to prove they are actively looking for work when they are laid off under certain conditions, such as a short‑term layoff with a promised return date, a plant shutdown, or a weather‑related shutdown. It still requires registration with the state job system and other eligibility criteria, but relaxes the job‑search requirement for the listed cases.
