First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - 12 months and counting

I applied for unemployment in Wichita 18 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Check the messages section of your claim, not just the dashboard. That is where my request for more information was hiding.
