The latest figures from the Social Security Administration show a 0.5% drop in ex-workers and their dependents who received disabled benefitsin 2014. That is the first drop in 31 years. 10.93 million workers 65 and under, along with a small number of spouses and children, were covered. That’s down from a record 10.99 million in 2013. A spokeswoman for the SSA did not know of any specific reason for the drop.
