Lang v. Dir., Ohio Dep't of Job & Family Servs.
Annotate this CaseIn this case, the Supreme Court considered whether Appellant, Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services (ODJFS), properly denied applications for federal wage subsidies filed by Appellees, three former employees of American Standard who later were reemployed at a lower wage before they reached the age of fifty. The Ohio Unemployment Compensation Review Commission denied Appellees' eligibility for the subsidies. The court of common pleas reversed. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded, holding that because ODJFS offered a reasonable interpretation of ambiguous language in the federal statute that established the wage subsidies, ODJFS did not improperly deny the applications.
