What happens to my SSDI if I move to another state, like Oregon? When you move to Oregon or any other state, your SSDI benefits generally continue without interruption. The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers SSDI as a federal program, so your payments should not be affected by your new state of residence. However, you must inform the SSA about your address change to ensure timely delivery of payments and correspondence. Some states provide additional disability benefits or support services that may vary, but your core SSDI amount remains consistent nationwide.
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.
Notify the SSA of Your Move
It is critical to:
- Update your address with SSA to avoid missed payments or delays.
- Contact SSA promptly after relocating to keep records current.
SSDI Benefits are Federal
Your payments:
- Remain the same amount regardless of the state you move to.
- Are processed through SSA’s central system, not state agencies.
State-Specific Supplemental Benefits
Depending on Oregon’s programs:
- You might qualify for additional state disability assistance.
- Medicaid or other services may differ from your previous state.
Healthcare Coverage Changes
Consider how:
- Your Medicare or Medicaid plans may be affected by your new address.
- You should update health providers and insurance info after moving.
Work Incentives and Employment Services
Oregon may have:
- Different vocational rehabilitation programs supporting SSDI recipients seeking work.
- Unique resources tailored to help your return-to-work goals.
