^a Data for claims filed in 1988-2023 reflect results as of June 2024 at the DDS level and as of July 2024 at the hearing and Appeals Council levels. The numbers of total claims filed for 2021-2023 are subject to change. Data for claims filed in 2024 are preliminary estimates as of January 2025. The ultimate numbers of allowances and denials are subject to change until all initial decisions have been completed and all appeals are final.

^b For claims filed in 2000 or later, we count allowances at the earliest adjudicative level of allowance. We count allowances for claims filed prior to 2000 at the highest adjudicative level reached.
