Oregon law requires employers to give state and federal EITC notice to employees

Oregon employers are now required to give written notice to their employees of the availability of the Oregon and federal earned income tax credits (EITC). (SB 398, effective October 6, 2017.)

The written notice must:

— Be in English and the language the employer typically uses to communicate with employees
— Effective with the calendar year 2017 Forms W-2, due to employees by January 31, 2018, be included annually with the employee's Form W-2
— Provide the state and federal EITC websites where employees can find additional information

The Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries has updated its minimum wage poster to include information on the federal and state EITCs.

The Oregon Employment Department is also required to provide information to unemployment insurance benefits recipients about the state and federal EITCs.
