Subject: Updates - Paid Leave Oregon and PEBB Disability Insurance

Good afternoon,

With the statewide email sent last week regarding Paid Leave Oregon and Open Enrollment happening, we know a lot of questions from employees are coming your way.


Paid Leave Oregon
Here are some things you can expect to see from CHRO in the near future -


  *   CHRO Frequently Asked Questions for employees (you knew there would be one).  The draft is currently in the review process.
  *   Virtual Town Halls.  CHRO and Paid Leave Oregon are working together to hold virtual town halls for employees to attend and ask questions about the program. Dates/times will be announced in the next couple weeks.

Please direct employees to the Paid Leave Oregon website, which has a lot of helpful information at https://paidleave.oregon.gov/Pages/default.aspx<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpaidleave.oregon.gov%2FPages%2Fdefault.aspx&data=05%7C01%7CJason.ROBINSON%40das.oregon.gov%7C458e89351fd6482ce4ed08daa663503f%7Caa3f6932fa7c47b4a0cea598cad161cf%7C0%7C0%7C638005242742856395%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2B4LWF8mLUBgl%2BZwMAv2bxp9aOxd36hyejMOk6vZQNjk%3D&reserved=0>


PEBB Disability Insurance
PEBB has released the following statement you may share with employees who ask about Paid Leave Oregon and PEBB disability coverage:

"We are actively seeking clarification on how Paid Leave Oregon will interact with PEBB's disability plans. In the meantime, PEBB members should enroll in the disability coverage they need/want for January - August 2023. Paid Leave Oregon benefits will not be payable until September 2023, and we want to ensure people have the protection they need/want in place for those first eight months. The PEBB Board will be exploring options to ensure PEBB members are able to balance any overlap of PEBB disability coverage and Oregon Paid Leave coverage for September - December."


Thank you,
