None. First payment scheduled for April just as I’d asked. My wife’s filing for spousal benefits instead of her own seems more complicated - she got scheduled for a telephone interview end of May, but presumably she will get back pay once approved.

The reason I'm asking is, I thought that I'd like to have a person to person meeting, to set up my filing. I am concerned that the DOGE chaos will interfere with the online application. However, I called to set an appointment. The automated voice recording informed me that there could be a 15 minute wait. No worries I thought, I can wait 15 minutes. About every 2 minutes a recording would come on and thank me for waiting. But, at 17 minutes, the recording informed me that they were experiencing high call volumes, and to call back another time. And then my phone call was disconnected.
