Frequently Asked Questions

What is Paid Leave Oregon and is it different from unemployment?

Paid Leave Oregon (PLO) is a separate paid leave benefit β€” distinct from unemployment insurance β€” that covers medical, family bonding, and safe leave. It launched in 2023 and uses a different claims process through Frances Online. If you need to call about PLO, use 1-833-854-0166 rather than the UI line.

How long do I have to appeal an Oregon unemployment denial?

You have 20 calendar days from the mailing date of the determination to appeal to the Employment Appeals Board. Oregon's process includes a hearing before a referee β€” acting within the first two weeks and gathering documentation about your separation is strongly recommended before the hearing.
