BREAKING NEWS!
PROCESSING UPDATE - IRS RELIEF:
For employers who submitted applications via the electronic application for the IRS Relief Period, you will need to verify the applications were accepted. Due to an issue with the application from March 19, 2013 until yesterday, April 16, 2013 applications were not being accepted if the STW date was more than 28 days old. A resolution to the error has been implemented and the electronic application is now accepting these applications. THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS April 29, 2013. Please ensure these applications have been accepted and if not, please resubmit for processing.
Status of VOW target group applications
The Ohio WOTC office has implemented updates to the automated application for Veteran Opportunity to Work (VOW) as of April 25, 2013. All applications will be reviewed against the VOW criteria. The WOTC office will provide a review of applications that may have processed incorrectly based on the old Veteran or Unemployed Veteran criteria.
Current notifications for VOW will include "VOW" as a reference. Customers do not need to take any additional action at this time.
