Who’s Eligibility?
Any Ohio registered employer that employs Ohio resident W-2 employees is eligible to apply. Employers of all sizes and in all industries are encouraged to apply. Only one application will be accepted per company. Agencies of the State of Ohio are not eligible to receive reimbursement.
