Finally

Three weeks after the election, the White House has given formal approval for President-elect Joe Biden to receive the President's Daily Brief.

[...]

It follows a formal notice by the General Services Administration Monday night that the formal transition of government can proceed.

[...]

Coordination on when Biden will receive his first briefing is currently underway.

[...]

Receiving a classified intelligence briefing is typically one of the first rights of a presidential candidate after winning the election. It contains information about pressing national security issues that the new president will soon face. But Biden has yet to receive an intelligence briefing because of Trump's effort to overturn the results of the election, which cause confusion inside the federal government over whether a transition could begin.

[...]

The PDB is often tailored to the President currently in office. President George W. Bush preferred being briefed orally by his top intelligence aides while President Barack Obama often read through his on a secure tablet. Trump often received his in late-morning sessions with career intelligence officials, though at times it disappeared from his schedule altogether.
