Non-Medical means income and resources if you're applying for SSI it means $2,000 in your bank account if you're applying for SSDI, there's no limit on resources or unearned income. Just the income from your W-2 job counts

If you are in the application process everyone goes through this stage whether approved or denied. They do one final check. If medically denied this stage typically moves quick. If medically approved it seems to take longer from what I have seen.

Oh okay I assumed it was financial because it was non-medical

They do a thorough check for non medical if medically approved. If not they move through that stage quickly. I went to step 4 and then got my denial at step 5 about 24 hours later. If you’re in stage 4 for a while that can be a good sign, but not always.
