Filed November 2023
15,330 applications carry a November 2023 filing date. 15,330 have a decision. 0 were still waiting when the scan last checked.
Anything undecided here is read from DOL’s own case-status search, in batches, every 12 hours. That page is also the authority for any single case. Because it is a sweep rather than a live reading, a case decided between sweeps still counts as waiting here, so these backlog figures run a little high rather than a little low.
Where this month sits
DOL publishes November 2025 as the filing month its analyst review is working as of August 28, 2026, so it has worked past November 2023. Anything still open here is behind the main queue rather than waiting for its turn.
20 cases filed before November 2023 were undecided at their last check, so that’s what sits in front of this month, counting only cases DOL still has to decide. Some will have been decided since, so it runs a little high. It isn’t divided into a wait: the timeline calculator gives the envelope, from the spread of cases DOL has actually decided.
Still pending
None of them are in analyst review, the ordinary queue that moves in filing order. Every one is in a queue that takes a case out of that order, so their wait doesn’t follow the month.
Every application filed in November 2023 has a decision. There is nothing left in the queue for this month.
Already decided
15,330 of the 15,330 applications filed in November 2023 have a final determination.
