Unemployment Benefits Rise

The Oregon Employment Department is raising the benefit payments for people filing new unemployment claims. Spokesman Tom Fuller says they make an adjustment every year. The minimum is going from $116 to $118. The maximum is going from $496 to $507. Fuller says the increase is only for those filing new claims. Those who are already receiving benefits will stay at their current rate until they renew.
