CARES Act. The program provides individuals with a mixture of self- employment and regular employ- ment earnings an additional $100 per week, which, when combined with FPUC provides a total of $400 above regular unemployment benefits.
OHIO UPDATE Since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, the Ohio Depart- ment of Jobs and Family Services (ODJFS) had been mutualizing benefit charges for contributory (taxable) employers, thus relieving tax paying employers of charges. This practice was discontinued for new unemployment claims filed with an effective date on or after November 29, 2020. Therefore, ODJFS has returned to its normal practice of proportionately charging claim costs to base period employers. Any benefits paid in claims that were filed between the start
of the pandemic through November 29, 2020 will continue to be mutualized for the life of the claim. For more information, visit the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services federal Consolidated Appropriations Act web page at:

OHIO UNEMPLOYMENT FRAUD Fraudulent unemployment claims have become a big issue in
Ohio, along with many other states. Nearly half of the 1.4M Federal PUA claims in Ohio have been flagged as potentially fraudulent. During the first week of availability, Ohio’s new fraud portal has received over 4,100 claims of ID theft. It appears imposters have acquired Person- ally Identifying Information (PII) that is sufficient to file a claim for unemployment. It is unclear where this PII was taken from or where the bad actors are located. Sedgwick is providing guidance to each customer around the actions their impacted
employees should take when a fraudulent/imposter claim is filed on their behalf. In Ohio we are recommending the impacted employee: 1. File a report of Identity Theft with local law enforcement 2. File a claim on the new Ohio portal:

3. File a claim with the Federal Trade Commission: https://www.
identitytheft.gov/Information Additionally, ODJFS has sent 1099-G tax forms to all Ohioans
who received unemployment benefits in 2020. If your employee receives a 1099-G tax form and did not receive unemployment compensation benefits, notify ODJFS: https://unemploymenthelp.
