First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check?

I filed my claim 3 weeks ago after being let go as a copywriter. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 3 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.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
