First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - 24 weeks in

I was laid off as an event coordinator and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. Any experience at all would help. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Mine took about 24 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.
