hey everyone, im going through an ssi denial appeal. i started the appeal on sept 2025 and have now moved to step 5 of the appeal in which i was approved! my ssa account now shows “we have made a decision to approve your appeal on May 4, 2026”. now i am just confused by the wording and wondering if anyone had some insight? do my benefits start may 4th.

-a very confused but excited, low-vision blind person :)
