Out of State notices (Tuesday, February 6, 2024)

Recently, we sent out deficiency notices for older Out of State applications. For the applications you received a deficiency notice on it is because of an identity verification issue.In order for Ohio to process the application further, the identity of the applicant will need to be verified. Without this verification we can not certify an application. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to improve Ohio WOTC.
