Request a hearing about Oregon long-term care or APD benefits
Elder & Dependent Adult
Oregon preparation and procedure guide
Source review: 2026-10-11

Scope: Shared Oregon or applicable federal procedure; confirm local requirements
Challenge an APD long-term-care or related benefits decision and ask separately about continuing benefits while review is pending.

Who this route is for
People affected by an Oregon APD long-term-care, state-plan personal care, related OSIPM, General Assistance or other decision within APD hearing responsibility. OHP medical-service and CCO appeals follow a separate route.

Timing and notices
Act immediately after the notice. The June 2026 APD procedures describe qualifying continued-benefit requests by the later of the tenth day after the notice or the proposed action effective date; eligibility, exceptions and the overall hearing deadline require notice-specific review.

Prepare (conditional documents may have alternatives)
[ ] Decision notice and envelope
[ ] Case number and APD or AAA office contact
[ ] Assessment, service plan and disputed hours or eligibility details
[ ] Reasons for disagreement and supporting records
[ ] Current service-change effective date

How to proceed
1. Read the notice and identify the program, decision date, effective date and hearing instructions; contact your APD or AAA worker promptly.
2. Clearly state that you are requesting a hearing about the identified decision. The June 2026 APD procedures allow verbal or written requests for APD programs; merely asking for a blank form is not a hearing request.
3. If services or benefits are being reduced or stopped, explicitly request continuing benefits and ask the office to confirm the applicable earlier deadline and any repayment consequences.
4. Ask for confirmation of receipt, language or disability accommodations and the next hearing steps; gather the assessment and supporting records and request legal help if needed.

Review APD hearing procedures and contact your office: https://www.oregon.gov/odhs/providers-partners/seniors-disabilities/Pages/tools.aspx

Limits: Continuing benefits are not automatic and may have repayment consequences. These instructions do not apply unchanged to CCO medical-service appeals, facility move-out hearings or every ODHS program. Use the actual notice and confirm the correct unit; an ombuds or complaint request does not replace a hearing request.

This site helps you prepare. It does not submit filings, calculate personal deadlines, decide eligibility or replace professional review. A complaint or help request does not pause another case or deadline.

Start here
Read the notice and identify the program, decision date, effective date and hearing instructions; contact your APD or AAA worker promptly.

Where and how to submit
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.

What will it cost?
Fees and fee-waiver eligibility have not been separately verified for this route. Check the current provider instructions. For a court filing, ask the court about its fee-waiver or deferral forms.

After submission
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.

Corrections, denials and appeals
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.

Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
