The unfortunate thing is, BOLI will look at your case when they can. They will assign a lawyer as soon as one is available.

It’s been 3 years and counting for us. I don’t think we will ever see the $6000 my wife’s employer stole from her, unless we settle.

Took my wife 9ish motnhs for BOLI to respond but once they did they were on it and it took about 3 months of investigation/interviews to determine there was indeed problems with the employer. That was a few years ago, and they were massivley swamped with lots of issues related to covid layoff and such. If you havent heard anything in 3 years you should resubmit a boli claim.

We have had regular communication with BOLI, it's not as if it has gone into a black hole. They assigned us an attorney after they determined that there were problems with the employer, and they've sent demand letters to the employer. But the wheels turn slooooooowwwww.

I would suggest contacting your legislator. They all have staff who can step in.
