Most likely the same kind of wait, if not longer.
So this morning I discovered two things. 1) There is an option to speak to a case manager without punching in all your info at the beginning of the menu. I missed it before; when I heard "to repeat the menu, press *" I figured that was the end of the options, but no. And at 7:01 Central time, all operators were busy (figures) but following this route they put me on hold this time. Luckily only for a few minutes.
More importantly, 2) It appears that the Buffalo regional office is not sitting on their hands or had dropped my claim file between some crack or another. They are simply overloaded, he told me, to the point where claims are taking 12 or more weeks to process. I'm not sure if he told me 12 only because it was 2 more weeks than the 10 I told him I've waited already; it wouldn't surprise me though. To their credit, the guy I talked to seemed far less anxious than I thought he would be to reach through the phone and pull my face off for bothering him with yet another claim status check. I surmise it was not so much patience on his part, but that he was simply dead inside by then.
So back to waiting now. *twiddles thumbs*
