First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - first time posting

I filed my claim 16 weeks ago after being let go as a data-entry clerk. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Is there a step I could have missed?

Keep certifying every week even while you wait. If they find you eligible, the weeks you certified are the ones that count.

Mine took about 16 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.
