I applied for Social Security benefits on August 14, 2021, 3 days before my eligibility birthday. I retired from the US Army and I am receiving pay and benefits. It has been over 145 days since I applied for SSA benefits and have not heard from them since November 2021.
What did the SSA communicate to you in November 2021?
Do you have a MySocialSecurity account? If not, you should sign up for one. Easy to check this sort of thing there.
