Ohio’s New State Hearings Web Portal

In Ohio, if you believe you have been mistakenly denied benefits or services for many Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) programs—or if you disagree with a decision about your case—you can ask for a hearing from the ODJFS Bureau of State Hearings.

Thanks to a new web portal called State Hearings Access to Records Electronically (SHARE), it’s now easier than ever to request a state hearing or access your state hearing information.
