The Oregon Preferred Worker Moving Assistance Agreement (OPERA) is an incentive program for businesses in Oregon to help offset the expenses of relocating employees for new job opportunities. The program is available to companies that qualify as Oregon Preferred Employers, which have been designated by the state of Oregon as “high-impact” employers that create or retain jobs and contribute to Oregon’s economic growth. ThOPERAMA is designed to provide financial assistance to employees who are relocating to take a new job in Oregon, including both in-state and out-of-state moves. The program offers reimbursement for eligible moving expenses, including transportation, lodging, and meals. There are two types of Oregon Preferred Worker Moving Assistance Agreement: the Employer-Sponsored Agreement and the Self-Sponsored Agreement. The Employer-Sponsored Agreement is available to employers who are willing to fund a portion of their employee’s relocation expenses. The Self-Sponsored Agreement is available to individuals who are relocating to take a new job in Oregon and who are willing to pay for their own relocation expenses.
