Disability Checks Are Changing America Forever

America is more disabled than ever before — and the numbers are shocking. In just five years, disability rates have exploded by over 30%, while the U.S. population barely grew at all. For years after covid, disabilities were rising faster than the population itself.

In some areas, one in three people can’t work because of disability. Payments now cost more than food stamps and welfare combined, making them one of Social Security’s biggest expenses. Entire towns even shift their schedules around the day disability checks arrive.

But here’s the thing — people didn’t suddenly become weaker or more accident-prone. Something much bigger is happening. From how we decide who’s “fit to work,” to economic inequality, to the rise of AI in the workplace… the story behind these numbers is far more alarming than it seems.

So why has America REALLY become so disabled?
