As of a week ago we were being back-burnered again so they can re-approve some people who already have placements.
The email was cryptic but my guess is they were approved before the state failed the Federal audit, so there are probably a few things like different background checks that have to be done. And since they already have a placement they went ahead of us in the queue. Which is understandable but extremely frustrating as it's been almost a year since we first applied, and 6 months after we were told we'd be approved in about 2 weeks. And 5 weeks after we elevated it and were told we would for sure be approved tomorrow. Etc etc etc.
