Worksource Oregon has released an Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Sequestration benefit reduction calculator, which can be found here on their website. These sequestration reductions impact only EUC benefits.

The calculator can be used to get your estimated new benefit amount after the sequestration reductions are implemented (please note that it is just an estimate, and not the definite amount). Sequestration reductions will go into effect for benefits paid for the week of March 31 - April 6, 2013. Payments for that week are made the following week, April 7 - 13, 2013.

Welcome to CSC's blog and e-newsletter!

These communications tools can be used to make announcements, acknowledge donors and volunteers, post videos and slideshows–whatever we want to share with our online community.

There are 3 ways to deliver info to stakeholders:

  1. The blog itself, which can be linked to our current website
  2. Email news blasts (blog articles sent via email as eNewsletters)
  3. RSS Feed (subscribers read in Google Reader or other feed reader, can also send posts to Facebook and Twitter)
We're excited about these communication tools and look forward to both your input and feedback for continuing improvement and positive information-sharing.

If you have agency/program information you'd like posted on this blog, please send full text and/or photos and videos, ideas, or suggestions to Janet Hessel and she will take the next steps.
