OAR 471-030-0045
Continued Claims

(1)

As used in these rules, unless the context requires otherwise:

(a)

“Continued Claim” means an application that certifies to the claimant’s completion of one or more weeks of unemployment and to the claimant’s status during these weeks. The certification may request benefits, waiting week credit, or non-compensable credit for such week or weeks. A continued claim must follow the first effective week of an initial, additional or reopen claim, or the claimant’s continued claim for the preceding week;

(b)

A “non-compensable credit week” is a week of unemployment for which benefits [shall] will not be allowed but which may qualify as a week allowed toward satisfying a disqualification as provided in ORS 657.215 (Disqualification for misrepresentation).

(2)

A claimant, in order to obtain benefits, waiting week credit, or non-compensable credit for a week of unemployment, must file a continued claim for the week by any method approved by the Director.

(3)

As directed by the Director, a continued claim must be filed:

(a)

In person at any Employment Department office in the state of Oregon. When delivered in person to any Employment Department office in the state of Oregon, the date of filing shall be the date of delivery, as evidenced by the receipt date stamped or written by the public employee who receives the document;

(b)

By United States mail. When filed by mail, the date of filing shall be the date of the postmark affixed by the United States Postal Service. In the absence of a postmarked date, the date of filing shall be the most probable date of mailing as determined by the Employment Department;

(c)

By fax. When filed by fax, the date of filing shall be the encoded date on the fax document unless such date is absent, illegible, improbable or challenged, in which case the fax receipt date, if available, shall be the date of filing. If a filing date cannot otherwise be determined, the filing date shall be the most probable date of faxing as determined by the Employment Department;

(d)

By Internet. When filed on line, the date of filing shall be the initial date of transmission of the on line continued claim; or

(e)

By telephone. When filed by telephone, the date of filing shall be the date marked, stamped, or imprinted on the document by the agency system that records the oral request or by the employee accepting the continued claim.

(4)

A continued claim must be filed no later than seven days following the end of the week for which benefits, waiting week credit, or noncompensable credit, or any combination of the foregoing is claimed, unless:

(a)

The continued claim is for the first effective week of the benefit year, in which case the week must be claimed no later than 13 days following the end of the week for which waiting week credit is claimed, or

(b)

The claimant routinely files weekly claims by submitting a weekly paper certification forms, in which case the week is timely if it is filed to the Employment Department no later than seven days, as per sections (3)(a)–(c) of this rule, after the Employment Department originally sent the paper certification form to the claimant.

(5)

The Director may, with respect to individual claimants or groups of claimants, direct that continued claims be filed on any reporting schedule appropriate to existing facilities and conditions.

(6)

The provisions of this rule do not apply to an individual claiming benefits as a “partially unemployed individual,” as defined in OAR 471-030-0060 (Procedure for Payment of Benefits for Partial Unemployment).
