DoubleA
Hello Everyone!
I am not new to this board, but I have never posted any messages. The reason I decided to do it is because the mood of the board became very discouraging and it just doesn\'t help anybody. I know how frustrated we all are, but let\'s try to be considerate of each other and HELPFUL. I will start with myself by telling you what I know/think of DOL processing. 1. They had a meeting about two weeks ago (right after the memo was introduced) with lawyers. Based on what I learned from my lawyer who attend the meeting, no major changes were going to happened at SF DOL. It is all about good faith recruitment. When DOL sends a case back to SESA in most cases that means that there had not been conducted enough recruitment. When SESA originally transfers paperwork to DOL, it notifies a lawyer about potential problems at DOL. So you guys might want to contact your lawyers to find out if that was applicable to your case.
2. Re: DOL automated e-mail system. I think- and it\'s a pure speculation- DOL shut down its automated system. I think b/c it got abused big time by people anxious to know where DOL was standing.
Finally, I suggest we all talk to our lawyers if possible to find out about new development- if any- at DOL and then post our findings. Just the facts! And...Let\'s try to stay positive!
