If your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) application in Oregon has been denied, you may be wondering about your options for appeal. Many applicants ask, can you appeal SSDI online in Oregon? The answer is yes — the Social Security Administration (SSA) allows you to file your appeal online, saving time and helping you avoid long wait times at local offices.

Find out if you qualify for SSDI benefits. Pre-qualify in 60 seconds for up to $4,018 per month and 12 months back pay.

Please answer a few questions to help us determine your eligibility.


Appeal Levels Available Online

You can submit certain stages of the SSDI appeals process online in Oregon. These include:


  • Reconsideration Request – After an initial denial, you can request a reconsideration online, where a new disability examiner reviews your case.
  • Hearing Request – If reconsideration is denied, you can also file a request for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) online.
  • Appeals Council Review – In some cases, if the ALJ denies your claim, you may also request a review through the SSA’s online system.


Not all appeals may be available online, but the first two levels — reconsideration and hearing requests — are the most commonly filed electronically in Oregon.


How to Appeal Online in Oregon

To appeal SSDI online, you will need to:


  1. Visit the SSA website and use the secure online portal.
  2. Provide identifying information such as your Social Security number and claim details.
  3. Upload or provide updated medical evidence and records to strengthen your appeal.
  4. Submit the appeal before the deadline — typically within 60 days of receiving your denial notice.


Filing online ensures your appeal is logged immediately and gives you a confirmation receipt for your records.


Benefits of Filing Online

Appealing online can make the process faster and more convenient:


  • Immediate submission with electronic confirmation.
  • Ability to upload new medical records and documents directly.
  • Access to your case information and updates through the SSA portal.
  • Avoiding long wait times or mailing delays.


When Filing Online May Not Be Enough

While appealing online is helpful, it doesn’t guarantee approval. Many applicants in Oregon still face denials at the reconsideration stage and need to go to a hearing. Having an experienced SSDI attorney can make a major difference in presenting a strong appeal.
