Licensing & CertificationLicensing & Certification4HighJourneyman$ implied

A licensed journeyman cannot complete his California license application because the Social Security Administration has failed to provide the required 7050 form for over 7 months, with no expedite option or workaround available from the SSA or the California licensing board.

The SSA's process for issuing the 7050 form is slow, opaque, and offers no way to expedite or obtain a printout in person. The California licensing board provides no alternative or workaround for applicants stuck in this bureaucratic limbo, and communication with the board is nearly impossible.
