Moneys due pursuant to this paragraph but not received by the Employment Department for payment to the Oregon JOBS Plus Unemployment Wage Fund by September 30, 2002, or September 30, 2003, respectively, shall be paid into the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund.
(4)(a) Notwithstanding ORS 657.435, 657.439 and 657.462 and subsection (3) of this section, for wages paid during the first calendar quarter of 2003, the tax rate paid by each employer subject to those provisions of law shall be determined in accordance with schedule I-J, II-J, III-J, IV-J, V-J, VI-J, VII-J or VIII-J, whichever schedule is determined pursuant to ORS 657.459 and 657.462 to be in effect for calendar year 2003.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, each taxpaying employer subject to this chapter, other than employers whose assigned tax rate is 5.4 percent, shall pay to the Employment Department, for the first calendar quarter of 2003:
(A) An amount equal to three one-hundredths of one percent of wages subject to taxation under this chapter for that calendar quarter. All such moneys shall be paid and collected in the same manner and at the same time as unemployment compensation taxes under this chapter, unless the director prescribes otherwise. After deduction of the actual shared costs of the Employment Department in collecting the amounts under this subparagraph, all such moneys shall be paid into the Wage Security Fund. Moneys due pursuant to this subparagraph but not received by the Employment Department for payment to the Wage Security Fund by June 30, 2003, shall be paid into the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund; and
(B) An amount equal to seven one-hundredths of one percent of wages subject to taxation under this chapter for that calendar quarter. All such moneys shall be paid and collected in the same manner and at the same time as unemployment compensation taxes under this chapter, unless the director prescribes otherwise. After deduction of the actual shared costs of the Employment Department in collecting the amounts under this subparagraph, all such moneys shall be paid into the Oregon JOBS Plus Unemployment Wage Fund. Moneys due pursuant to this subparagraph but not received by the Employment Department for payment to the Oregon JOBS Plus Unemployment Wage Fund by June 30, 2003, shall be paid into the Unemployment Compensation Trust Fund.
(5) Unemployment insurance recipients shall be referred to available work through the JOBS Plus Program in accordance with the job referral process used to refer applicants to available work. In addition, job referral services shall be provided by the Employment Department or the Department of Human Services, as appropriate. When a program job is offered to an unemployment insurance recipient and the job is refused, the Employment Department shall investigate the refusal and identify and decide all issues arising therefrom, including suspension of benefits, in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
(6)(a) An unemployment insurance recipient shall be referred to the JOBS Plus Program if the recipient is eligible for benefits under ORS 657.155.
(b) The Employment Department shall provide applicants for unemployment insurance benefits with a JOBS Plus Program brochure at the time of application. The brochure must clearly describe the JOBS Plus Program and explain how an applicant can effectively use the program.
(c) The Employment Department shall refer unemployment insurance recipients as follows:
(A) If the Employment Department determines that the recipient is likely to exhaust the recipient’s unemployment insurance claim without finding an unsubsidized job, the Employment Department shall begin reviewing the recipient for referral to available unsubsidized and subsidized jobs as soon as possible but in no case later than the fourth week after the week in which the recipient applied for unemployment insurance benefits.
(B) If the recipient is not referred to the JOBS Plus Program in accordance with subparagraph (A) of this paragraph and has not obtained unsubsidized employment within eight weeks of the week after the recipient applied for unemployment insurance benefits, the Employment Department shall reassess the recipient’s reemployability and refer the recipient to the JOBS Plus Program if appropriate.
(d) Notwithstanding ORS 411.892 (4)(d)(A) and (B), unemployment insurance recipients may participate in the JOBS Plus Program for no more than 13 weeks, unless the department determines that an additional period of participation in the program of up to 13 weeks is appropriate.
(e) Employers participating in the JOBS Plus Program by providing subsidized employment to JOBS Plus Program recipients through the Employment Department shall be reimbursed in accordance with ORS 411.892 (12).
(7) To the extent that additional moneys may be obtained for the program from sources other than state tax revenues, the additional moneys shall be appropriated to the Oregon JOBS Plus Unemployment Wage Fund. [1995 c.561 §12; 1995 c.816 §27; 2001 c.657 §1; 2001 c.781 §1a]
