First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - 26 weeks in

I applied for unemployment in Omaha 26 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I worked as an administrative assistant before this. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Keep certifying every week even while you wait. If they find you eligible, the weeks you certified are the ones that count.

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