LOL. Can never second guess the government. They love to keep us in suspense sometimes

A quick update - I received my approval today 3/10, so that was ~3 months after I applied. It was delayed a little because I had to send them my passport to verify my citizenship.

I have an update. Part B was taken out of my Social Security check for March and April even though I had already paid for those months. Yesterday I received a check from the government refunding me those two months. All is well even if it did take a while. I never called them, it just showed up.

My (somewhat limited) experience with SSA is they generally get things right, even if a few times it does take awhile.

I do think the SSA is one of the best run government organizations around.
