Nobody here can answer how long the state will take - only the state knows that.
Since claiming disabled requires a doctors certification of permanently and totally disabled and can request the letter at any time (and often do) - it is advised that you obtain such a letter prior to filing.
(Many taxpayers that make a disabled claim file by mail and attach the certification letter to their mailed tax return to head off delays even thought it is not required to do so.)

We’ve never had this happen before so it was confusing and it seems like six months to review a letter is excessive.
Is this the same reason federal is lagging and not going through or are the two not related?
You can only call the state and IRS and ask - no one else would know..
The IRS is totally separate form the state. Did you check the IRS refund site?

Yes I worry because it’s been two weeks and they are still reviewing it. I don’t even know who to call to get a human if it gets to the 21 day mark.
Here's how to reach a live agent at the IRS:
800-829-1040 (7AM-7 PM local time)
When calling the IRS do not choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
I usually use a speakerphone so I can work on something else while waiting.
If you don't get good info/results from the IRS using the steps above, you can contact the IRS Taxpayer Advocate for your area. They are especially prone to help if you have a hardship, or if there have been continued delays with lack of info from the IRS. At the following IRS website, find the USA map and click on your state, and it will give you the number of your IRS Taxpayer Advocate.

If it has only been 2 weeks since you filed Federal then just wait. What does the refund website say?
The IRS says that they "try" to pay most refunds withing 21 days of filing, but of course that means that some refunds can take much longer. Once your tax return has been accepted by the IRS (or state) TurboTax receives no feedback whatsoever on the status of your refund. Only the IRS (or state) can give you any information after the tax return has been filed.
If the IRS "reviews" your return for any reason (even a random check), you can expect at least a 60 day delay - or longer.
