I agree that the "self reported" component is the most likely cause of delays. It's been 20 years since I did my original application, but having seen the new ones, I recommend that if you can truthfully answer a question without providing additional information then do so. Some people with self-reported medical issues have been denied when there didn't seem to be any justifiable legal reason. Most were overturned after protest and granted the LTC.domobro wrote:Most of the information that is used is what is "self reported".

My "knowledge" is based on the provable facts that they do not collect enough information to do more than a cursory background check... No references, no interview, no verification of employment (if you even submit any employer info), no address verification other than making sure it matches the ID submitted... And perhaps most telling, they don't NEED to do any of those things to meet the simple requirements of the statute, so why would they?

Re: In Process.....
OK let me restate. They DON'T do extensive investigations. They check automated fingerprint system, computer databases, and then they issue the card. Do you have personal knowledge otherwise? So they're slow because they got a lot of applications this year... For $140 they should do a better job and meet the statutory deadline, or better yet, eliminate the requirement for a license like several other states have done.twomillenium wrote:Not their job to worry about what you are not convinced about.
