UnitedHealth Group’s Optum will lay off 129 employees and close a Toledo, Ohio, facility, according to a notice filed with the state's job and family services department.
The separations are expected to take place in three waves, from July 15 to September 6, and will affect employees in Ohio and remote locations, Optum said in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice filed Thursday.

The affected employees include senior software engineers, senior technology product managers, associate business systems analysts and associate business operations coordinators, the notice said. None are represented by a union, according to the WARN notice.
UnitedHealth Group and Optum did not respond to requests for comment.
Last month, Optum laid off 114 individuals in Tennessee and remote locations working in its naviHealth unit, which manages post-acute healthcare services.
UnitedHealth Group has contended with unforeseen financial impacts following the February cyberattack on its Change Healthcare technology subsidiary, which is housed by Optum. The incident could cost the company up to $1.6 billion this year, executives said on its first-quarter earnings call in April.
