To be eligible for an account with the OregonSaves Program, an employee must be at least 18 years old and earning W-2 income in the State of Oregon. This applies to full-time, part-time, and temporary workers. Additionally, eligibility is based upon an employee's State of employment rather than their State of residence. Therefore, if an employee lives in a different State, but earns their wages in and pays income taxes for Oregon, they will still be eligible for an account with the OregonSaves Program assuming they meet the other eligibility criteria outlined by state law.
Oregon State law requires that all eligible employees be enrolled with the Program by the time they have been employed for 60 days with an organization. An employee may be added as soon as their hire date if that is administratively easier for the employer, or if they express interest in participating in the program.
