How holidays can affect your benefits 

State agencies like the Oregon Employment Department and banks are closed on state and federal holidays. WorkSource Oregon centers will also be closed, and staff won’t answer phone calls. This usually delays claim processing and benefit payments by one business day.  

Frances Online is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can apply for benefits, file claims, answer questionnaires, and send us messages on holidays and weekends.  

We will resume processing claims on the next business day. Due dates apply to the day you must complete the requirement, not the day we process it.  

To avoid delays: 
  • Regularly check Frances Online for updates and important letters.  
  • If you need to contact us, send a message while logged into Frances Online.
