The JobsOhio Relocation Incentive pays Ohio employers $15,000 for each out-of-state STEM or technical hire who relocates to Ohio and establishes permanent Ohio residency. The program cap is $225,000 per company (15 qualifying hires lifetime). Hires must be above the company's 3-year historical baseline for out-of-state STEM hiring. The application is an online form (~30 minutes). After approval and legal agreement, disbursement is requested once the hire starts, with funds arriving within ~30 days. The program is first-come-first-served; JobsOhio notifies companies when the pool reaches 90% depletion.
