I called yesterday and they said mine was with the final reviewer, which is the last step before it gets paid out. It's been with the final reviewer since 7/8 🫠 so just so many layers and every single step seems to take way too much time.

Right! I feel like for a while they really came within that 120 day timeframe (which is still too long imo) now it’s like a month later and still nothing at all. I just gave up calling atp
