First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check?

I filed my claim 26 weeks ago after being let go as a nurse's aide. It has been a long 26 weeks. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 26 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.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
