Does Springfield have its own rule?
No. ORS 657.150; Oregon Employment Department applies across Oregon, so a claim from Springfield is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is which workforce office you deal with in person and how busy it is — not the weekly amount or the number of weeks.
