Social Security Disability Laws in Oregon.
Social Security disability law is federal even when the claimant lives in Oregon and works with an Oregon attorney. The practical Oregon-side work is in building the medical record, responding to denials, and preparing for SSA hearings, but the controlling legal standards come from federal statute, regulation, and SSA procedure.

Statute of Limitations
A claimant who receives a final decision of the Commissioner generally has 60 days to seek judicial review in federal court, making SSA appeal deadlines critical.

Filing Requirements

Key Oregon Statutes
Federal law defines disability for SSDI purposes as the inability to engage in substantial gainful activity because of a medically determinable impairment expected to last at least 12 months or result in death.
Oregon claimants follow the same federal reconsideration, ALJ hearing, Appeals Council, and federal-court review process used nationwide.
