- still in line, decided as DOL gets to them
This is a sweep, not a live reading, so a case decided between sweeps still counts as waiting here: the backlog figures run a little high rather than a little low.
Where these come from
Anything undecided here is read from DOL’s own case-status search, in batches: every case daily, and the undecided ones at least twice a day. That page is also the authority for any single case.
Where this month sits
DOL publishes December 2025 as the filing month its analyst review is working as of October 5, 2026, so it has worked past November 2023. Anything still open here is behind the main queue rather than waiting for its turn.
90 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.

Every status, pending and decided, and the November 2023 cases themselves
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.
- Analyst review 0 the ordinary queue, worked in filing order
- Out of filing order 0 an information request, an audit, supervised recruitment or a hold takes a case off the ordinary queue
- Under appeal or review 19 cases that went to appeal after an adverse determination
