First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check?

I was laid off as a medical assistant and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. There are 12 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date.

Mine took about 19 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.

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