When will your case be decided?

Free · no sign-in needed. Estimates use the current backlog and recent DOL activity — they're a signal, not a promise.

Where each filing month stands
Every case we track, grouped by the month it was filed with DOL — and how much of each cohort has been decided. DOL works through them roughly oldest-first.
