First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? after 18 years as a recruiter

I was laid off as a recruiter and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. This is my first time dealing with any of this. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
