Tennessee is topping another list in the nation, this time as one of the top states in the U.S. with residents on disability. The amount of people on disability has doubled in the last 20 years and Tennessee is certainly contributing to that total. For reference, about 5.2 million U.S. citizens were on disability. In 2011, that number increased to 11.7 million.

Tennessee had more than 6.5 percent of working age residents collecting disability, the Germantown movers have learned. In 2011, Tennessee had more than 260,000 residents collecting Social Security between the ages of 18 and 64 by the end of 2011. The disabled residents of Tennessee collected a total of $261.5 million in government funding in December 2011.
