This issue is resolved. All Street View trusted photographers should now be able to see their trusted badge on Connect. The Street View boards, however, will not be accessible to anyone after 18 December 2020 when they are due to be archived.

Due to an issue we’re experiencing with our platform, some photographers who recently published 50 Maps-approved 360 photos and gained the Street View trusted certification are not being awarded the respective badge on Connect. This in turn is preventing them from accessing the exclusive Street View boards on here and being able to interact with other members of the trusted community. 

We wanted to let you know that we are aware of this issue and our engineers are actively working to resolve it as soon as possible. We’ll make sure to update this post once we know more. 

In the meantime, if you have any Street View-related queries, please feel free to reply in the comments below and a Google Moderator will put you in touch with the Street View team.

@SonyaN Thanks. A few of the people I know had this issue, I have checked for some of them, and they already received the badge. We will try to point others who have issues to reply to this post.
