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.
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...

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".
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.
Just got off the phone with IDPH hoping to hear the word "approved" since the woman I was speaking to told me they started processing my app 1/10. She said, "No, it can take up to 30 days to process an application." So... I'm on day 82 already. Day 90 will be the 23rd, and they're saying if it...
Update:
Mailed app 10/21
USPS tracking shows delivered 10/23
IDPH says received 10/25
Called today (day 74) and they have not gotten to my app yet, nor has check been deposited.
