Dan, sorry for the slow answer. The steps in SSA's online claim status aren't the same as the five-step disability test, and seeing a non-medical review again near the end is common. SSA re-checks things like work and earnings before it finalizes a decision, so by itself it isn't a bad sign. At 58 you're in what SSA calls "advanced age" (55 and older). SSA weighs that, along with your education and past work, when deciding whether you could adjust to other work. If the status hasn't changed in a few weeks, call SSA or your local office and ask what's still pending.
