National HIV Testing Day

Hello, I have an important message for you about National HIV Testing Day, which is Sunday, June 27th.

More than 1 million people in the United States are living with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. One out of every five people living with HIV does not know he or she is infected. While help and treatment are available, you need to know your HIV status first. If you've never had an HIV test, or if your last test was a while ago, I encourage you to get tested. HIV tests can be quick and there are many places that offer them for free.

To find an HIV testing site near you, call 1-800-232-4636 or 1-800-CDC-INFO. You can call anytime and someone will answer your questions and help you find a free or inexpensive testing center. Again, that's 1-800-232-4636. This is a toll-free number. If you have access to a computer, you can also find a testing center near you by visiting www.aids.gov/locator. Simply enter your zip code to find the nearest testing center. The website will also provide you with local resources for housing and other services near you.

Please share this information with your friends and family. No one should have to lose a friend, father, mother, daughter, son, sister, or brother to AIDS.

Stay healthy, and thanks!

Business Closures and the Wage Security Fund
What is the Wage Security Fund?
The Wage Security Fund was established by the Oregon Legislature in 1985 and is administered by the Bureau of Labor and Industries. The Fund protects Oregon workers from wage loss by paying the final wages of employees when a plant or company closes without sufficient funds to pay final wages.
Who qualifies for Wage Security Fund benefits?
Oregon employees of a company that closes and does not have sufficient funds to pay final wages are eligible to apply for benefits.
What are the available benefits for Oregon qualified workers?
Workers can qualify for payments of the amount they earned during the 60 days preceding the closure date of the firm or the amount of unpaid wages earned within 60 days of the last day of employment. A maximum of $4,000 may be paid to an individual worker. The fund pays amounts equal to unpaid wages only. It does not cover vacation, sick leave or other accrued compensatory time or benefits.
Who pays the social security, Medicare and state and federal income taxes owed on the wages?
The employee's portion of FICA taxes (social security and Medicare) and federal and state income taxes are deducted from the amount paid to the worker. Claimants are required to submit a W-4 form ("Employees' Withholding Allowance Certificate") with their wage claim.
The employee's employer is responsible for payment of the employer's portion of FICA and FUTA taxes, and is required to file W-2 forms with the Social Security Administration and furnish copies to their former employees.
How do I file a claim?
Wage Security Fund claim forms are available from any BOLI office (see contacts list below). If you believe that you may be entitled to payment from the Wage Security Fund (your employer has ceased business operations and you have not been paid final wages due), contact BOLI and request a Wage Security Fund claim form.
Who has benefited in the past?
The Wage Security Fund has paid over $14 million in benefits to more than 14,000 displaced Oregon workers since July 1986.
The Fund began making payments in July 1986. Money for the fund comes from a diversion of .03 of one percent of the state’s employment tax paid by employers for one quarter (3 months) every odd-numbered year. This diversion is expected to generate more than $3.6 million during the 2007-2009 biennium.
How do I get more information about the Wage Security Fund?

Mailing address, if not the same as residence address

Non-traditional residential addresses/homeless voters

The Washington Constitution doesn’t require a "residence" as a condition of voting as long as a person meets all other registration requirements. (Article VI Section1)

Voters who lack a traditional residential address can register at the shelter, park, motor home, intersection or other identifiable location they consider their residence. This location will be used to determine which precinct they will vote in.
Along with your residential address, you must also provide a valid mailing address. An accurate, valid mailing address is essential in order to receive ballots and election information on time. This can include a post office box, address of a friend or relative, shelter, or general delivery at a local post office.
