​Emergency Broadband Benefit

Broadband is a necessity, not a luxury. The internet is the platform on which the world works, and broadband is the universal common denominator. Members may be interested to know that applications will open May 12 for federal COVID-relief to discount broadband access by $50/mo ($75/mo on tribal lands) for qualifying households. It also includes limited opportunity for subsidized purchase of computers and tablets. Members ​in qualifying households—including OHP & SNAP beneficiaries—can sign up for a monthly $50 @FCC benefit: https://getemergencybroad​band.org.

2021 Legislative Session

​The Oregon Legislature’s 2021 regular session is now underway. Bills may be introduced that could affect future PERS benefits and employer contribution rates. PERS cannot speculate on whether any bill will be passed by the Legislature and approved by the governor nor assess the future impact of any bill.

Until a bill becomes law, PERS Member Services cannot tell you how it may impact your future member benefits.

We encourage members to follow bill progress and other legislative actions on the Legislature's website, where you can sign up to receive updates​ about bills, committees, news, and other topics.
