Earlier this month, the SAIF board of directors announced two dividends for more than 47,000 employers: a $120 million primary dividend to be paid to SAIF's policyholders, and a $40 million safety performance dividend to be paid based on each policyholder's safety results.

Policyholders in Hood River County will be receiving $1.7 million this year—an average of $2,689 per employer. Policyholders in Wasco County will also be receiving $1.7 million—an average of $3,812 per employer. That does not include universities or state agencies. The checks will be mailed next month.
