First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - 10 months and counting

I filed my claim 7 weeks ago after being let go as an IT help-desk technician. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date.

When I finally got through, the agent said my employer had responded late. Once that cleared, back pay came in one payment.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
