Recruitment open — apply now; confirm the closing date with the recruiter before submitting.
The Oregon Health Authority is hiring a Complaint & Grievance Process Administrator to oversee the Medicaid Division’s complaint process for Oregon Health Plan members and providers. This role champions fairness and equity by investigating concerns, resolving issues, and driving improvements that strengthen accountability and the member experience.
Complaint & Grievance Process Administrator (Operations & Policy Analyst 3)
The Medicaid Division designs, administers, and continually improves Oregon Health Plan (OHP) programs so services are delivered effectively, equitably, and in alignment with state and federal requirements.

The position monitors compliance with federal and state requirements, identifies and analyzes complaint trends, and supports quality improvement initiatives that strengthen accountability and member experience.

About the Oregon Health Authority
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) was established in 2009 through House Bill 2009, which separated most health-related programs from the Oregon Department of Human Services into a single agency. It is headquartered in Salem, Oregon.
OHA is the first health agency in the country to declare a statewide goal of eliminating health inequities, working toward a system in which all people in Oregon can reach their full health potential and well-being regardless of race, ethnicity, language, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, geography, or social class.
OHA administers the Oregon Health Plan — Oregon’s Medicaid program — which serves more than one million members through a network of coordinated care organizations operating in all 36 Oregon counties. The agency also oversees public health, behavioral health (mental health and substance use services), and the Oregon State Hospital.

Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs Expands Program to Aid Veterans Pursuing Higher Education or Vocational Training
The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs has expanded the Oregon Veterans Educational Bridge Grant (VEBG) Program, doubling the maximum lifetime award to $10,000 and broadening eligibility for veterans facing financial hardship that could interrupt their education or training.
Effective July 1, 2026, Oregon resident veterans enrolled in eligible degree, apprenticeship, or training programs can apply for grant assistance to remain enrolled and complete their educational or vocational goals.
Program Information & Application
Oregon Veterans Educational Bridge Grant Webpage — https://www.oregon.gov/odva/agency-programs/grants/Pages/Educational-Bridge-Grant.aspx · Eligibility requirements, application materials, and full program details
Program Coordinator: [email protected]
About the Grant Expansion
The VEBG was established by the Oregon Legislature in 2019 to provide financial assistance grants to eligible veterans during gap periods when required courses or training hours are unavailable, allowing them to remain enrolled in school or apprenticeship training. With the Legislature’s passage of House Bill 4132, the original $5,000 lifetime maximum has doubled to $10,000 beginning July 1, 2026, and eligibility now also covers veterans experiencing financial hardships that could endanger their continued enrollment in a degree, apprenticeship, or training program — expanding beyond the prior limits of unavailable coursework or outstanding student debt.
The grant is available to Oregon resident veterans enrolled in eligible education and training programs statewide, including federal GI Bill®-approved degree programs, licensed private career schools, registered apprenticeships, and qualifying public employer on-the-job training programs. Veterans who are not eligible for federal GI Bill® benefits may still qualify if they meet Oregon’s definition of a veteran under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 407.087.
About the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Established in 1945 by the Oregon Legislative Assembly to support returning World War II veterans, the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs (ODVA) has since grown to serve veterans of all eras and their families statewide.
ODVA’s mission is to serve and honor veterans through leadership, advocacy, and strong partnerships, uniting government agencies, nonprofits, and veteran service organizations around shared goals.
The agency provides statewide access to earned veteran benefits and administers state veteran programs and services benefiting nearly 300,000 Oregon veterans and their families.
ODVA’s programs span aging veteran services, home loans, educational and emergency aid, conservatorship services, and statewide veteran service coordination.

Recruitment open — apply now; confirm the closing date with the recruiter before submitting.
The Oregon Health Authority is hiring a Complaint & Grievance Process Administrator to oversee the Medicaid Division’s complaint process for Oregon Health Plan members and providers. This role champions fairness and equity by investigating concerns, resolving issues, and driving improvements that strengthen accountability and the member experience.
Complaint & Grievance Process Administrator (Operations & Policy Analyst 3)
The Medicaid Division designs, administers, and continually improves Oregon Health Plan (OHP) programs so services are delivered effectively, equitably, and in alignment with state and federal requirements.

The Complaint & Grievance Process Administrator oversees the Medicaid Division’s complaint process for OHP members and providers. The position monitors compliance with federal and state requirements, identifies and analyzes complaint trends, and supports quality improvement initiatives that strengthen accountability and member experience.

About the Oregon Health Authority
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) was established in 2009 through House Bill 2009, which separated most health-related programs from the Oregon Department of Human Services into a single agency. It is headquartered in Salem, Oregon.
OHA is the first health agency in the country to declare a statewide goal of eliminating health inequities, working toward a system in which all people in Oregon can reach their full health potential and well-being regardless of race, ethnicity, language, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, geography, or social class.
OHA administers the Oregon Health Plan — Oregon’s Medicaid program — which serves more than one million members through a network of coordinated care organizations operating in all 36 Oregon counties. The agency also oversees public health, behavioral health (mental health and substance use services), and the Oregon State Hospital.

Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs Expands Program to Aid Veterans Pursuing Higher Education or Vocational Training
The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs has expanded the Oregon Veterans Educational Bridge Grant (VEBG) Program, doubling the maximum lifetime award to $10,000 and broadening eligibility for veterans facing financial hardship that could interrupt their education or training.
Effective July 1, 2026, Oregon resident veterans enrolled in eligible degree, apprenticeship, or training programs can apply for grant assistance to remain enrolled and complete their educational or vocational goals.
Program Information & Application
Oregon Veterans Educational Bridge Grant Webpage — https://www.oregon.gov/odva/agency-programs/grants/Pages/Educational-Bridge-Grant.aspx · Eligibility requirements, application materials, and full program details
Program Coordinator: [email protected]
About the Grant Expansion
The VEBG was established by the Oregon Legislature in 2019 to provide financial assistance grants to eligible veterans during gap periods when required courses or training hours are unavailable, allowing them to remain enrolled in school or apprenticeship training. With the Legislature’s passage of House Bill 4132, the original $5,000 lifetime maximum has doubled to $10,000 beginning July 1, 2026, and eligibility now also covers veterans experiencing financial hardships that could endanger their continued enrollment in a degree, apprenticeship, or training program — expanding beyond the prior limits of unavailable coursework or outstanding student debt.
The grant is available to Oregon resident veterans enrolled in eligible education and training programs statewide, including federal GI Bill®-approved degree programs, licensed private career schools, registered apprenticeships, and qualifying public employer on-the-job training programs. Veterans who are not eligible for federal GI Bill® benefits may still qualify if they meet Oregon’s definition of a veteran under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 407.087.
About the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Established in 1945 by the Oregon Legislative Assembly to support returning World War II veterans, the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs (ODVA) has since grown to serve veterans of all eras and their families statewide.
ODVA’s mission is to serve and honor veterans through leadership, advocacy, and strong partnerships, uniting government agencies, nonprofits, and veteran service organizations around shared goals.
The agency provides statewide access to earned veteran benefits and administers state veteran programs and services benefiting nearly 300,000 Oregon veterans and their families.
ODVA’s programs span aging veteran services, home loans, educational and emergency aid, conservatorship services, and statewide veteran service coordination.
