How often do I have to re-apply for disability benefits?

Disability benefits in Oregon are subject to review and re-application. How often you must apply for disability benefits depends on the nature of your disability. If your disability is expected to improve, you will have to re-apply for benefits every 6-12 months. This is so the state can review your condition to determine if there have been any changes. However, if your disability is not expected to improve, you may only have to re-apply every 3-5 years. This review process is known as a Continuing Disability Review. You should also be aware that you may be asked to re-apply for disability benefits sooner than the stated timeline if your disability changes or your circumstances change. For example, if you are receiving disability benefits and you begin employment or receive another form of income, you may be required to re-apply for disability benefits. It is important to stay up to date about state regulations regarding disability benefits as they can change. Contacting your local disability office for the latest requirements is a good way to ensure you remain compliant.
