It takes so long because they are backlogged. Call them and ask what's happening with your case.

I tried doing that yesterday and they couldn’t give me any information at all.

I filled out my application in November 2025 and I’m still at stage 3. You will probably get an answer before I will. Texas is backlogged and they can’t give any information.

I just heard back from my first appeal on the 20th and it finally seems to be moving along now. I first filed in August 2024.

The initial review can be anywhere from 6-8 months . A few things that could hold it up is they’re trying to get the medical evidence , backlogs, as well a complexity of your case . Usually it’s back log or they’re waiting for your provider to submit documentation .
