Employment agency, Oregon Law Center unveil settlement
Lawsuit aimed at speedier processing of claims and removal of language barriers.
A settlement has been proposed in a class-action lawsuit that the Oregon Law Center filed against the Oregon Employment Department for delays and language barriers in processing unemployment benefit claims.
The proposed settlement was announced by both parties Wednesday, and filed with Multnomah County Circuit Court the previous day.
The settlement will not result in additional money for the 14 named plaintiffs, or anyone else in the class-action suit, who are represented by the Oregon Law Center. The original suit was filed July 7. The center will inform people of the proposed settlement terms between Feb. 12 and March 5, and what the procedure is if they want to object.

Murder charges against a man suspected in the deaths of two people were dismissed after a Multnomah County judge found he was unfit to stand trial, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Demetrius Brown, 26, is at the Oregon State Hospital undergoing treatment for mental illness and would likely stay there, according to Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s office.
“On January 14, 2021, a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge issued an opinion and order finding Brown unfit to proceed to trial,” prosecutors said in a statement. “The court further determined that there is not a substantial probability that Brown, in the foreseeable future, will regain the capacity to stand trial.”
A district attorney in Oregon has charged a 64-year-old man with murder, accusing him of driving his car into several people, including a grandmother who died in the vehicular attack.
