Did notice that some seem to get intermediate update between card production and card mailing with tracking # and some directly get the update with tracking # on the case tracker. Hope I am in the later bucket, b/c mine's stuck in Card is being Produced since Sep 14.
Think it's truly mailed out when tracking # is available on the case tracker (unless it just silently shows up).
My employer said I have to be taken off the payroll and get rehired when card comes through. I am not too worried abt the rehire or the small gap but the kicker is that I lose 20% of annual pay deferred as year-end "bonus" b/c I am not continuously employed during this gap.

Build large scale systems reliably performing high volume transactions for a living. Maybe I need to reach out to these folks to provide help during the gap.

He was very nice and concise and said to call back in a couple of days if there is no update.
