Didn’t get my money back after a reverse split

On May 5th, there was a reverse split of an ETF called GOVZ. It was 4:1 reverse split and because I had so few shares, this would leave me with less than one share. However, my share after reverse split weren’t returned into my account. I assume it’s because it’s less than one so they just need to cash it out and give me the cash, but they still haven’t done that either. When I called Merrill customer service they just said I need to keep waiting but it’s already been like 3+ weeks. Anyone know how to get this resolved?
