Actual card arrived today!

Has anyone who got the "printer down, but here's your access" letter gotten their actual card yet? My letter expires in 19 days, and I'm not feeling super confident I'll have my card before then.

Yes!

Approval letter from IDPH arrived today, 2 days after approval. Clearly they mailed it right away. From time mailed application was received by IDPH to dispensary access in hand: 92 days. The letter expires end of February, so hopefully I'll have my actual card by then. FYI the letter includes...

Some really interesting and exciting articles from @tomschuba in the Chicago Sun Times today.

I gave myself a cut off of 200 times a day. And some days that many I didn't get through. There ARE two different recordings though. One says there are high call volumes and suggest their website and then hangs up. The other thanks you for contacting them and says their representatives are busy...

I did not. I was driving when I talked to them.

I don't really understand the order they're doing things in. Seems like people from mid-October to late October are being handled sorr of randomly. Have you checked your approval status?

Snail Mailed 10/21 USPS tracking confirmed delivery 10/23 IDPH says app received 10/25 Today is exactly day 90 from when they said it was received.

Update: Called today and got through after waiting 3 times in hold for 10 min. each. System automatically gives the high call volume message at 10 min. then hangs up. App approved either yesterday afternoon after I called or today before I called .I asked about printer issues and the guy said...

Have you called your dispensary about this? I'd be curious to see if they know about these letters and if the state has told them they're an acceptable form of "card".

Day 85. Finally got through after 400 calls over the last 2 days. Still processing (processing since 1/10).

Day 83. Called IDPH 100+ times today but never got through to check my status.

Thanks. I'm hoping that's just something they say and that it won't actually take that long. Weather shifts and winter are really hard for me, and I've been in pretty much non-stop pain since mid-September.
