Category: State News
(Salem, OR) -- Oregon is joining 13 states in a lawsuit against the federal government over cuts to the unemployment program. Congress approved 45-million-dollars in grants following the pandemic to bring state unemployment programs up-to-date. Many states, including Oregon, were working with extremely old computer programs. The Trump Administration withdrew the grants. The lawsuit claims the government broke the terms of the grant agreements.
