What is this bond?

The Ohio Unemployment Insurance Trust bond is a financial guarantee required by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). It ensures that organizations opting to reimburse the state for unemployment claims rather than paying standard taxes will fulfill their financial obligations.

Who needs it?

Non-profit organizations and certain public entities in Ohio that elect to be 'reimbursing employers' typically need this bond. If your organization chooses to directly reimburse the state for unemployment benefits paid to former employees, the ODJFS may require you to secure this coverage.

Why is it required?

The state requires this bond to protect the Ohio Unemployment Insurance Trust fund from financial losses. If a reimbursing employer defaults on paying their unemployment claim invoices, the bond guarantees the state can recover the owed funds.
