Where this month sits

DOL publishes December 2025 as the filing month its analyst review is working as of October 5, 2026. This is that month.

4,684 cases filed before December 2025 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.
