Seminar / Education Reimbursement Program

The Ohio Plan recognizes that there are many useful educational seminars on a variety of subjects available from outside sources.

One of the benefits The Ohio Plan offers is the reimbursement of qualified education training expenses (work, safety, and employment related). A member entity is eligible for reimbursement of tuition expenses up to a maximum amount of $300.00 annually.

You may submit a reimbursement request for the tuition fee(s) for any seminar/training event for an individual(s).  Also, any seminar conducted by a qualified third party for a group of the member's employees that is held at your location may be eligible.

The $300.00 limit is a cumulative amount.  There is no limit on the number of training opportunities that are reimbursable; BUT the total amount will be capped at $300.00 for the calendar year of 2009.

 

Here is how the program works:

A member must have paid for its employee(s) to attend a seminar. Additionally, verification of the employee(s) attendance at the training seminar must be obtained. Reimbursement will not occur without proof of payment and attendance verification being received. Note that most training seminars provide a certification of attendance at the conclusion of the training.

Mail or fax both the proof of payment and the certificate(s) of completion to:
