If employers have questions while completing the application please reach out to Jack Kuntz, Development Director at (937) 836-3500 ext. 111 or jkuntz@clayton.oh.us.  Jack will put you in contact with the legal chief for the Office of Unemployment for Ohio’s Department of Jobs and Family Services.

This is a really good program to keep trained employees on staff during this time, while also helping employees who may otherwise be looking at complete unemployment.
