WCD Preferred Worker Program (PWP): qualification and employment support
Resources, agencies and counties · resources
What this source covers
PWP offers qualified Oregon injured workers and employers employment purchases, worksite modifications and reemployment incentives subject to program conditions.
How to use it
Contact WCD Preferred Worker Program (PWP) staff at 800-445-3948 or pwp.oregon@dcbs.oregon.gov to ask about qualification, the correct forms and job/purchase conditions. Review the PWP forms/resources and coordinate any employer benefit request with the employer/insurer; do not assume a purchase is authorized. Phone: 800-445-3948. Email: pwp.oregon@dcbs.oregon.gov.
Limits and questions to verify
Overview amounts are program limits, not an individual award. Qualification does not establish every purchase or employer incentive; confirm approval, job-in-Oregon conditions, timing and responsibility before spending. The premium exemption notice requirement is employer-specific, not a universal worker application deadline.
