House Bill 394, legislation to modernize Ohio's unemployment insurance system, aims to bring about reforms that place Ohio on a path to long-term success and reduce reliance on federal government loans. An offset of the bill, an overhaul of the state's unemployment compensation system, would subtract Social Security income from jobless benefits, often reducing unemployment cash to nothing. If approved, Ohio would be the only state in America to deduct 100 percent of a person's Social Security from jobless benefits.
