Feedback Needed: Draft Rule Changes for Unemployment Insurance

OED has drafted changes to three of our Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) pertaining to Unemployment Insurance (UI) and is hosting two virtual listening sessions to gather feedback:

Morning session: Thursday July 31 — 10-11:30am
Afternoon session: Monday August 4 — 4-5:30pm

The most significant draft rule change will modernize OED’s eligibility requirements for UI (OAR 471-030-0036) by aligning them with labor market changes and new legislation, including SB 916, which allows striking workers 10 weeks of UI benefits.

For more information on the draft changes or to register for the listening sessions, visit the OED rulemaking website.

How Project SEARCH Helps Businesses Grow and Supports Inclusion

Recently, DCI International, an employer in Newberg, teamed up with Oregon’s Department of Human Services (ODHS) Project SEARCH program to welcome interns with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These young adults gained real-world job experience, built confidence, and learned valuable workplace skills.

At the same time, DCI gained hardworking, motivated team members and saw a boost in workplace culture and inclusion. Project SEARCH makes it easy for businesses to participate in this program by providing on-site trainers and support throughout the internship.

Many companies end up hiring their interns — benefiting from new skilled employees and improved team morale.
