It seemed like a useless appeal as I heard nothing from them.  Then I read in one of those daily OASBO message board threads about going to the ODJFS and filling out an online fraud report which I did, but this was only after learning that the employee name appeared on the Pre-Notice of Billing from ODJFS (Notice of Benefits Paid and Charges to Employer”.  Within a few days I received the email below from ODJFS that basically says they were putting a Stop Payment Order on said employee benefits.  I hope you find this useful and I highly recommend utilizing this online reporting of fraud tool that ODJFS has on their web site.

>   Explanation: We received a Request To Employer For Separation Information.  Even after reporting said request that the Employee never lost Employment with us, ODJFS went ahead and approved the Claim.  Employee indicates they never filed such a claim.  We faxed an appeal of the Claim Determination of ODJFS on 12/01/2020.  Today we received the "Notice of Benefits Paid and Charged to Employer" - Said employee (Name removed for security purposes) was listed on two lines of the report.
