How do I report my earnings while receiving unemployment benefits?

When receiving unemployment benefits in Oregon, it is essential to report your earnings accurately to maintain compliance with state regulations. The Oregon Employment Department typically requires claimants to report any earnings during each week for which they are claiming benefits. This can usually be done through the online unemployment benefits portal or by using the automated phone reporting system that the department provides. When reporting your earnings, it is important to include all wages received from any job, even if the work was part-time or temporary. The information you report will help the Oregon Employment Department determine your eligibility for benefits and ensure that you receive the correct amount. Often, the reporting window is specific, so it is advisable to report your earnings as soon as you receive them. Claimants are generally encouraged to report their earnings weekly, including any hours worked and income earned, even if it is under the allowed income threshold. For detailed guidance on the reporting process, it might prove helpful to visit the Oregon Employment Department’s current webpage, where you can find specific instructions and additional information on reporting earnings.
