First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? after 6 years as a store manager

I applied for unemployment in Kansas City 18 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub.

Mine took about 18 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.
