Default Task declaration validity with 302 for US state records

I have a flight that qualifies for numerous Oregon state free distance records, and declared records if my declaration is valid. I'm trying to figure out if my electronic declaration is valid. I did not do a paper declaration. Please no comments about paper declarations in this post please.
I have contacted my SSA representative by email and am waiting to hear back.. I got an auto response saying they will be back from vacation on the 4th, but would like to get some sort of answer before that.

This is the first season with a 302 and Oudie/ConnectMe and electronic only declaration. I don't want to do paper declarations, I bought this electronic crap for a reason! There are people that do it this way sucessfully and I want to become one of those people.

Issue #1:
I sent the task to my 302 on the 28th, and flew the task on the 30th. I did not send the task again to the 302 on the 30th. Is the "declaration" also valid on the 30th? I did not send a different task or change the task between the 28th and the 30th.

Issue #2:
I sent the task to the 302 using ConnectMe. For whatever reason I could not get the N-number in the Registration field, it would not take any characters at all in that field for some reason. I tried about 5,000 times... I did put both the N-number and the contest number in the "competition" field.. That information shows up in the respected fields when the 302 IGC file is imported into Seeyou.

All of the required information is in the task declaration somewhere, the task was completed, do I have a valid Oregon State declared record?
