DI and SSI Applications Pending in State Agencies at End of Year—Fiscal Years 1989-2010900800700600500400300200100019891990199119921993Thousands19941995199619971998199920002001200220032004200520062007200820092010The number of claims pending at State agencies soared between 1989 and 1992, largely due to a recession,the Supreme Court’s Zebley decision that liberalized the definition of eligibility for children, andchanges in SSA’s regulations for determining whether an individual has a disabling mental impairment.Although the pending workload declined briefly in the mid-1990s, it began to grow again in the late 1990s.The spike in the pending workload in 2009 and 2010 reflects the increase in initial claims due to economicconditions.Aspects of Disability Decision Making: Data and Materials 65
