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.

Every May 2026 case, pending and decided

Where this month sits

DOL publishes December 2025 as the filing month its analyst review is working as of October 5, 2026. May 2026 is 5 months ahead of that, so DOL hasn’t reached it yet.

38,810 cases filed before May 2026 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

7,870 of them are in analyst review, the ordinary queue that moves in filing order. The rest are in queues that take a case out of that order, so their wait doesn’t follow the month.

  • Out of filing order 239 an information request, an audit, supervised recruitment or a hold takes a case off the ordinary queue
