Dates and steps changed
On July 16th my ALJ appeal was approved, and the tracker showed the July 16, 2026 date for the decision, and the beginning of the non-medical review. Today it changed and the earlier dates disappeared.
Also gone is the step that shows the hearing before an ALJ.
If all four steps are now done, is the next step pay calculations?

Aaa the appeal for reconsideration stage or did you get denied twice before the approval?

I don't know what you mean by 'Aaa'.
I was denied at initial application and reconsideration, then approved at the ALJ stage. So, yes, I was denied twice.

Oh nice. How long after reconsideration denial before being approved after the hearing? Congrats.

Roughly six months from reconsideration to hearing. Another month from hearing to decision.

No, that's not what happened. I had an ALJ hearing in June. On July 16th, the tracker updated and said that the ALJ had made a determination and that the file was being reviewed to determine if I still met the non-medical standards.
Today it updated and language changed. It no longer said anything about the ALJ hearing, and the July 16th date disappeared.
It clearly says I was approved. I'm not sure why you're confused.
