OregonSaves
Employers in Oregon will be receiving notices informing them of the March 1, 2023 deadline to register for OregonSaves. Businesses with 3 or more employees must register by March 1, 2023. Businesses with 1-2 employees must register by July 31, 2023. Oregon state law requires businesses that do not offer a retirement savings plan to facilitate Oregon Saves. Below are helpful resources:
The Oregon Broadband Office is seeking the public’s help in verifying or correcting the broadband information listed for their residence on the FCC’s National Broadband Map. An accurate broadband map will help identify the communities most in need of funding for high-speed internet projects and will be used by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to determine how much federal funding each state receives for broadband support. The deadline to update the map and influence the broadband support Oregon receives is January 13, 2023.
