Oregon provides interest and penalty relief for the late payment of first-quarter 2020 SUI contributions

The Oregon Employment Department announced that if employers were late in paying their 2020 first-quarter state unemployment insurance (SUI) contributions (due April 30, 2020) due to COVID-19, it will abate penalties and interest provided the payments are made within 30 days of Governor Kate Brown's Executive Orders no longer in effect that were issued in the weeks following her March 8 emergency declaration and address the health and safety of Oregon citizens, or later if a payment arrangement is reached with the Department.

Employers must apply for the interest and penalty abatement by filing the Application for Interest and Penalty Relief.

The Department emphasizes that the first-quarter 2020 SUI returns must be timely filed.
