Due to the COVID-19 State of Alarm, the Social Security offices closed and the customer service telephone numbers collapsed. So it is difficult to know how the procedures are going.

The first thing you should do is to have sent your application correctly. Here you can see a guide on How to apply for the Minimum Vital Income online.
How do I know my Minimum Vital Income status?
If you submitted your application correctly, you should have received a code to make inquiries along with your application. It is important that you write down this code well since it will help you to know your Minimum Vital Income status.
Access the Social Security Electronic Office to find out your Minimum Vital Income status (sadly, this page is not available in English).
If we have the query code that Social Security has given us and we want to check the status of our benefit, we must perform the following steps:
Enter the Social Security Electronic Office and click on the button “Aportar documentación a una solicitud” (Provide documentation to an application).
In the next window, we will have to fill in two fields: the first is the verification code which we have previously told you to write down and the second one will be your DNI. Do not forget to check the box “I am not a robot” and click on accept.
If you have correctly filled in all the fields, the system will inform you of the status of your application for the Minimum Vital Income.
