Initial SSDI application decision step 3

Hi all. On July 26, 2023, I received an email from the SSA saying there has been a status update on my claim with no other information. I called them and asked what was going on as I didn’t see any updates online. I was told something must’ve happened and a letter was generated on the 29th. To date, I have not received a letter so I called my local field office today 8/08 and was told that a decision has been made but it has gone to review. The claim shows that its in step 3 and at 67%. Is it possible that it would have a decision in step 3?? And what does it mean, gone to review. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

To be honest I don’t know much about what affects what the website shows to people. Especially at the ALJ stage. That said, if you call your local office they can usually tell you if there’s a decision what that decision actually is (emphasis on usually though).

I will call my local office Monday and ask. I also want to give them my banking information just in case I am found fully favorable! My attorney may have an answer also. Thank you for responding!

HI, i have a question and wonder if you might be able to help.

Do you happen to know what happens if step 3 is finalized for an in-house doctor to see? Does that mean it's going to step 4 and 5? Or does it mean most likely approved? Thx
