We've reached a voluntary resolution agreement with the Employment Department of Oregon to reaffirm its commitment to provide meaningful access in its unemployment insurance program for people with limited English proficiency. Our Civil Rights Center determined Oregon’s UI program has made commendable efforts to ensure people with limited English proficiency have meaningful access to the state’s UI program, though areas for improvement exist. As part of this voluntary conciliation agreement, the Oregon Employment Department’s Unemployment Insurance Program commits to: ✅ Make vital information available in non-English languages, including Amharic, Arabic, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Lao, Russian, Somali and Vietnamese. ✅ Promptly provide interpretation and translation services to people with limited English proficiency upon request or as the law requires. ✅ Conduct comprehensive training to staff, managers, volunteers and contractors on the agency’s legal obligations to people with limited English proficiency. ✅ Continue to provide vital information on its public website using qualified translators. ✅ Systematically collect and analyze demographics regarding LEP status and preferred languages of individuals who come in contact with Oregon’s unemployment insurance program. ✅ Revise and display “Babel notices” on every webpage in multiple languages to inform readers that the communication contains vital information and explain how to access language services for translations of the page’s content. https://lnkd.in/e8ZZMYsz
