I've read several articles recently that suggested the number of people filing for disability claims under Social Security soared as the 99 weeks of unemployment benefits ended in numerous states. When I looked at the data, all I found was a mild uptrend. I didn't see an explosion of people on disability.

I am not making any claims about the health of economy or otherwise, just that I don't see any big trend changes.
