Apart from the the processing dates on the phone line listed (which seem to be a good indication), I don't know any way you can check on individual cases at MA SESA. I don't think they do individual checks over the phone.
They should inform your attorney when they forward your case to the DOL, but it can still take months to appear in the DOL system. Mine was forwarded on 10/28/02 and still does not show in their database.
