Why Even Scammers Don’t Want to Deal With Oregon’s Unemployment Benefits

from City Cast Portland · host City Cast

State leaders are struggling to fix the dysfunctional way Oregon handles unemployment benefits: Navigating the system is a nightmare, there are huge delays in payouts, and they’re even asking some people to return the money they’ve already received. Today we’re talking with Oregonian reporter Mike Rogoway about how the state got here, what they’re doing to fix the problem, and how someone can make sure they get their benefits in the meantime.
