they are doing it electronically, how the hell can it take any longer? that don't make any sense.

I may have to start deciding if I'm going to pay the biggest bill I have soon.

I found out about the increase through snail mail and the website when I logged on. So it's an increase throughout all the states? Damn....and here I thought La was doing something special.

I don't know why it's taking them longer. I have called a few times about it and they told me since there's been triple the amount of claims in the last few months it's taking longer.

A friend's took 6 weeks.

Of course, they're probably giving a generalized statement on how long it's taking. That's what I'm hoping for and it'll come in sooner than expected. Or I'm going to be SOL soon if something doesn't come through quickly.
