The Department of Labor representatives reported that cases with initial filing dates during July 2008 are currently being worked on, and approved if there is no audit.

For cases in which an audit request was sent (including many where audit requests were mailed in September to November of 2007), cases with initial filing dates in August of 2007 are being worked on.

For cases requesting reconsideration or appeal, initial filing dates of June 2007 are being worked on.

Note that the Department’s report cannot be used to predict when a case filed today will be decided, it can only be used to see where they are in reducing their new backlog.
