Case Numbers - an Unsolved mystery
Poweman,
ATL DOL is currently assigning case numbers for september cases. Basically, there is a one month delay in the assignment of case numbers. If your lawyer sends a fax to them 2+ months after the case is transferred to Atlanta, they will probably respond with the case number. I am waiting for my case number as well. My application moved to ATL DOL mid september.
Regarding some other posts that were made earlier, FL SESA sends out a letter once they finish processing the file at the state level. This letter would contain the case number assined by SESA. After the SESA stage, the application goes to Atlanta. Atlanta DOL assigns case numbers(this is different from the case number assigned at the state level) to the applicaiton, but does not automatically send any letters or confirmation to the lawyer. The lawyer has to send a fax to ATL DOL to request for the case number. Once ATL DOL receives the request they will send out the information to the lawyer.
