Please respond timely to these notices and write "fraud/identity theft" on them so that we can investigate the claims and take appropriate actions. The easiest way for employers to respond to Request for Separation Information forms is online – either by logging into your Ohio Job Insurance account at unemployment.ohio.gov or by using the State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) or SIDES E-Response. To learn more about SIDES and SIDES E-Response, visit jfs.ohio.gov/ouio/SIDES.stm. Either option is quick and easy.
Unfortunately, identity theft and unemployment fraud are widespread national challenges. We encourage you to let your employees know about the identity theft reporting portal and other resources available at unemployment.ohio.gov. Both individuals and employers can report identity theft to ODJFS and access other resources by clicking on "I want to report ID Theft/Fraud" at unemployment.ohio.gov.
Typically, you will be able to view correspondence once you receive an email notification that the correspondence is available. If you have correspondence requesting information, you will not be able to open it if the deadline for responding has passed.
