Or. Admin. Code § 471-070-1320 - Benefits: Communication to Employers and Employee Application for Benefits
(1) After a
claimant has filed an application or updated their claim for Paid Leave Oregon
benefits, the department shall notify any employers from whom the claimant is
requesting paid leave and provide information about the employee's claim,
including but not limited to the potential weekly benefit amount.
(2) Employers or administrators may respond
to the notice from the department within 5 calendar days of the date on the
department's notice to report any additional information before the employee's
Paid Leave Oregon claim is processed. Employers or administrators shall respond
to the department's notice online or through another method approved by the
department. If the employer or administrator fails to provide information
within 5 calendar days, the claimant's application for benefits shall be
processed using the information available in the department's records. If the
employer or administrator later provides additional information, the department
may reprocess the claim, taking into account the additional
information.
(3) The department may
determine whether a claimant has coverage under an equivalent plan approved
under ORS 657B.210 and the effective dates of that coverage, along with
gathering information about any claim for benefits that the claimant has filed
under an equivalent plan. The department may request information from the
claimant's equivalent plan employer and administrator, if applicable, after the
claimant files an application with the department. When this information is
requested, equivalent plan employers or administrators must respond to the
department's request within 10 calendar days from the date on the request for
information.
(4) After a claimant's
application for benefits has been processed by the department and a decision is
issued to the claimant, the department shall notify the claimant's employers
and administrators, if applicable, whether the claimant's application for
benefits was approved or denied by the department, and, if approved, the dates
and period of leave that the claimant is approved for.
