Submitted fair hearing request 2-3 weeks ago, no update yet. What's the typical wait time? (NYDOL)

I went through this last year. It can take a while, unfortunately. Have you tried calling the office directly to ask for an update? Sometimes that can help speed things up.

Ugh, the waiting game is the worst. I remember when I filed mine, it took almost 2 months before I heard anything back. Hang in there!

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending out any official communication.

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/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what I've learned from my experience and research about fair hearings: • The typical wait time for a response is 4-6 weeks, but it can vary depending on the complexity of your case and current workload. • Make sure you've kept all documentation related to your case. You might need it later. • If you haven't already, send a follow-up email or letter. Sometimes things get lost in the shuffle. • Keep a log of all your communication attempts (dates, times, who you spoke to if anyone). • Check if there's an ombudsman office you can contact. They can sometimes help move things along. • Be prepared for the hearing itself. Review your case thoroughly and have all your evidence organized. • Consider getting legal advice if your case is complicated or involves a significant amount of money. Remember, patience is key in this process. It's frustrating, but hang in there!

lol welcome to bureaucracy hell. grab a seat, you'll be here a while 🤡

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help expedite these things.

Just went thru this myself. Took about 5 weeks to get any kind of response. The system is so backed up rn its crazyy

Anyone else feel like they're playing phone tag with a ghost? 👻📞 These government agencies are impossible to reach!
