Unless you know someone in the office that will do it as a personal favor don’t plan on seeing anything until September.
More likely later in the year.
They will be so overwhelmed going back they won’t have this in their mind.
Of course any other company could figure this out.

I just got my personal belongs last week. If you really want yours you need to find an admin that you know and ask them to help you. That is what I did and got my stuff about 2 weeks after I asked for them.
I was let go in January. I received an email in February from HR asking to opt in or opt out for receiving personal belongings. I opted in as I had many personal things in the office before we left for WFH due to COVID. I didn't hear anything back since then. I called HR 2 weeks ago and they told me it will take probably another 2 months to move into the "next stage" of this project.
I called HR today. Was told to wait for another email after the survey email in February that I answered. Same BS.
Make sure you get the email asking you if you want the belongings. If you haven’t I would suggest sending an email to your manager.
In many location the items were boxed and are in a warehouse so it won’t be before September. December is more realistic.
And anyone with a snarky comment - save it.
Many of us spent a lot of time in the office working hard. We had things there to make our time more comfortable and productive.
If you were still an employee you wouldn't be allowed in the building either.
I was told by HR 3 weeks ago that they would be sending out emails in batches asking if you wanted any belongings. I was layed off in January and still have not received this email.
This is all done by your manager and not surprisingly is terribly organized and managed. I had to do this when I was forced to lay people off and of course there is very little guidance, nor monitoring. Your best bet is to get in touch with your manager.
