Fiscal Year 2025 Workload Data: Disability Decisions

Continuing Disability Redeterminations (CDRs) are not included except for Federal Court Level

*Includes Title II, Title XVI, and concurrent initial disability determinations and appeals decisions issued in FY 2025, regardless of the year in which the initial claim was filed, and regardless of whether the claimant ever received benefits (in a small number of cases with a favorable disability decision benefits are subsequently denied because the claimant does not meet other eligibility requirements.) Does not include claims where an eligibility determination was reached without a determination of disability. If a determination or appeals decision was made on Title II and Title XVI claims for the same person, the results are treated as one concurrent decision.

1/ Federal Court data includes appeals of Continuing Disability Reviews

NOTE: Due to rounding, data may not always total 100%.
