First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - 14 months and counting

I filed my claim 22 weeks ago after being let go as a home health aide. It has been weighing on me all week. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. What would you check first?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Mine took about 22 weeks because of an identity check I did not notice. Look for a message or a letter you may have missed in your online account.
