Ohio extends unemployment claims hot line hours
January 08, 2009 5:58 PM

COLUMBUS, Ohio
Ohio has extended the hours of operation for its unemployment claims hot line after a crush of calls this week made it temporarily difficult for many to get through.



The state has added nine hours on weekdays and opened the line for six hours on Saturdays.

From Wednesday through Friday, the telephone line will be running from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., instead of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Saturdays, the hot line will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

On Mondays and Tuesdays, hours will remain from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Early in the week, the hot line was receiving 80,000 calls a day compared to the 7,500 it usually gets.

People can also fill out unemployment claims on a state Web site at any time.
