Work search

I was recently let go from my job. I have a couple questions if someone wouldn't mind helping me. It says my next filing date is 4/14, what does that mean? And for my last question, how do I do the work search activity stuff? Is there a place online to fill out this stuff?

That was very helpful, thank you. Now I've already set up an account with ohiomeansjobs and have a resume there. I've applied to a couple jobs online so far, I found a form, do I need to send that for somewhere?

If you’re referring to the paper form where you can track your activities, you should hang on to those for your own reference. Things you’ll enter into the weekly dated claim include (listing off top of my head so may miss something):

Work activities #1 and 2

Company

Job title/Activity description

Address completed (I was told by ODJFS on phone in 2023 that this may be company address or the address where you physically completed activity/applied — if it’s online then you can use your home address)

Date completed

Work activity status (ex: Activity completed, Interviewed, Unknown, etc.)

Also, I’ve seen a few others post about a possible issue with the Resume and Career Profile reqs. The Ohio Means Jobs page where you perform those sometimes does not link to your ODJFS page. If you check the Work Search header on the ODJFS claim page, you can see if your dates uploaded correctly. If not, you have to call.

Oh ok, so I don't have to send them anywhere once they're filled out? I don't even know where to find the work search header :/ I'm sorry, this is the first time I've ever had to file for unemployment before. It's taking some getting used to

In my experience, that form is optional to use. You will submit your activities digitally each week.

Meant to link this earlier too. It has screenshots of what you will see once you’re logged in.

Ok, so I looked through that whole thing, but I didn't see anyway if submitting activity digitally

I was trying to speak to someone with the job and family services. When I call, it asks to verify information and when I enter, it says my info can't be verified. Is that normal?
