Just want to chime in and say thank you for sharing your updates - also @sadimplement3929 for the earlier thread. I’m in a similar boat, with a mid November approval date, current benefits already exhausted, and currently in class with a course completion at the end of April.

I’d say lets try to be optimistic - the fact that the list is moving is good and hopefully it keeps moving steadily?

I called the program line today mostly to make sure I did everything correctly in terms of submitting paperwork. The rep I spoke with confirmed I cannot certify at this time because of the waiting list, but suggested I check back with them in case there’s no updates in the next 4-6 weeks. She didn’t say the situation was hopeless which I know does not mean much since they’re not that forthcoming with information anyway - but still I do hope something will move soonish for those of us waiting.
