EIF waitlist update
During the 2022 legislative session, additional General Fund dollars were approved for the EIF, allowing PERS to clear the EIF Cycle One waitlist.
The Oregon Legislature appropriated $17,250,000 in General Funds to the EIF. When combined with the forecasted $19,500,000 in Sports Betting funding already anticipated to fund EIF by year-end 2023, these funds will provide sufficient matching dollars to offer a match for each of the 44 waitlisted payments.
To view the list of waitlisted payments, go to the
Cycle One waitlist.
Cycle One results
The first cycle of the EIF closed on December 1, 2020. Despite having a portion of the funds rescinded by the legislature during budget rebalancing in August 2020, the program was financially beneficial for all employers. For details about Cycle One read the information below. For information about a future cycle of EIF, go to

EIF approved employers list.
Future of EIF
Thank you to all employers who participated or expressed interest in the first cycle of the Employer Incentive Fund.
Ongoing funding for the Employer Incentive Fund will be provided by proceeds from sports betting, and PERS received the first transfer in December 2020. However, future funding is not expected to be as significant as the first EIF cycle's $100 million appropriation.
Cycle Two: Existing sports-betting funds are being used to provide matching funds for the waitlisted employers from Cycle One. Therefore, we are no longer expecting to open a second cycle in 2023. Instead, we will begin Cycle Two when the fund reaches a minimum of $25 million.
As a reminder, as an employer, you can establish a side account at any time. Once you establish a side account, you can make up to two additional payments per side account per year with no additional fees. To learn more, read
Employer Side Accounts.
