What is my obligation to report changes in my health or income?

In Oregon, it is important to understand your obligations when it comes to disability planning law. As someone receiving disability benefits, you have a responsibility to report any changes in your health or income to the Oregon Disability Services Division immediately. You should contact the Division to explain any changes that could affect your disability status and the benefits you receive. This could include changes in medical diagnosis, treatment, or medications, as well as changes in your household’s income or expenses. The Division requires that you report any changes in employment, income, resources, family composition, living arrangements, or medical condition in writing, by mail, or in person within 10 days. If you do not report any changes in a timely manner, you may be subject to loss of benefits or a late payment penalty. It is essential that disabled individuals keep the Oregon Disability Services Division informed of any changes in their finances or health so that their disability benefits stay current. If you are unsure if or how the changes you have made affect your benefit status, contact the Oregon Disability Services Division to find out what steps you must take.
