Adoption case payment delay since Jan 24 - submitted docs yesterday, told to call back today. Any advice to speed up process?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting on a payment for months too. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us. Have you tried calling them every single day? That's what I've been doing, and I think I'm finally making some progress.

Listen up, folks. I've been through this rodeo before, and here's what I've learned: • Document everything. Every call, every email, every piece of paper you submit. Keep a log. • Ask for a supervisor if you're not getting anywhere with the first person you talk to. • Be persistent but polite. Getting angry won't help your case. • If possible, submit documents in person and get a receipt. • Check if there's an ombudsman or advocate you can reach out to. • Consider contacting your local representative. Sometimes they can help push things along. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Don't give up!

Have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds like we're back in the 90s, but sometimes these old school methods work better with government agencies.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

This whole system is broken af. Why do we have to jump through so many hoops just to get what we're owed? It's like they're trying to make us give up. 🤬

Hey OP, congrats on the adoption! That's awesome. Sorry you're dealing with this bureaucratic nonsense tho. Hang in there!

have you tried threatning legal action? sometimes that lights a fire under there butts
