Another Oregon ian has become homeless waiting for benefits from the Oregon Employment Department.
For more than two decades Pence built up a career in telecommunications. He said with years of a stable income, he never imagined he could be faced with homelessness after being laid off. "I finally got through to somebody and I was instructed to file a new claim through Frances," Pence said. Pence signed a disclaimer, allowing the employment department to talk to KATU about his case. It declined an interview but sent a statement saying it recognizes it’s been hard for Pence to reach the department.
