Ohio is currently one of just four states (including Idaho, North Dakota and Pennsylvania) that does not grant unemployment compensation to military spouses who quit their jobs to relocate with their spouse, but a recent bill that has just passed the Ohio House of Representatives could change that.
The bill (House Bill 158), sponsored by Representative Rick Perales, would bring unemployment compensation to these spouses who must leave their civilian jobs to relocate for an active duty transfer with their military mates and according to Representative Perales, it will not be a cost to the state.
The bill is now making its way to the Senate.
