Does Oregon have a mini-COBRA law?

Yes. Oregon has a state mini-COBRA statute extending continuation coverage to employees of small employers (typically <20 employees) not covered by federal COBRA. Verify the specific eligibility window and election period in the Oregon insurance code.

Does Oregon have its own paid family leave program?

Yes. Oregon runs Oregon Family Leave Act + Paid Leave Oregon, supplementing federal FMLA with paid (or partially paid) leave benefits. State PFL programs typically have separate eligibility, contribution, and benefit calculations from FMLA.

Where do I file a state ADA-equivalent disability discrimination complaint in Oregon?

Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). State FEP agencies typically have parallel jurisdiction with the EEOC for ADA Title I claims. Oregon status as a "deferral state" extends the federal EEOC charge filing window from 180 to 300 days.

If my employer denies a reasonable accommodation in Oregon, what are my options?

Federal: file an EEOC charge within 180/300 days for the failure-to-accommodate claim under 42 U.S.C. § 12112(b)(5)(A). State: file a parallel charge with Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) which may have additional remedies. You can also request the interactive process under 29 CFR § 1630.2(o)(3) — that record-preserving demand is what the ADA accommodation wizard generates.
