Houston Social Security Lawyers Share the 5 States with Most People Receiving Benefits

October 22, 2013 | By Natalie | Social Security Disability

Houston Social Security lawyers know that more Americans than ever are receiving disability benefits. Across the United States, some areas are more plagued by health issues, unemployment and increasing poverty rates.

The following are the 5 states with the most people on disability benefits and the percentage of their working-age population receiving Social Security Disability Insurance, or SSDI.

  1. West Virginia: 9%
  2. Arkansas: 8.2%
  3. Alabama: 8.1%
  4. Kentucky: 8.1%
  5. Mississippi: 7.7%

Houston Social Security lawyers note that in the past two decades, the number of people receiving SSDI in the United States has gone from 5.2 million to 11.7 million. The National Association of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives and the Cato Institute agree with Houston Social Security lawyers that there are several factors that play a role in this increase:

  • Aging baby boomers: As the large population of baby boomers has gotten older, there are more SSDI eligible adults experiencing health problems.

  • Women in the workforce: There was a notable increase of women in the workforce in the 1970s and 1980s. This generation of female workers are now SSDI eligible.

  • The recession: States with the most disability claims also have the highest poverty rates, fewest job opportunities and least-educated workforces.

While more and more people are qualifying for SSDI, there are still many people who are wrongfully denied benefits. If you need assistance from a Houston Social Security lawyer after a benefits denial, contact The Law Offices Of M. Stanley Whitehead today.

Attorney M. Stanley Whitehead - 5 out of 5 based on 36 user reviews.  
"I would highly recommend this firm to everyone, Wonderful firm, they took my case , when I was told by a few firms in Ohio that I did not have a case, Marc Whitehead and Associates settled the case in a timely fashion"  Delecia via
"I want to thank the office of Marc Whitehead and especially Jaime Almaguer who was my caseworker. I had begun the disability process myself until I heard about this lawyers' office in Texas. Seemed strange working with folks across the country that I would never meet. Nevertheless, they were able to get my disability first time around. I felt comfortable discussing my issues privately with them and being able to let Jaime do the work. He was responsive, caring and very professional. Thank you all so much, this has changed my life."  Lynne via
