First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? (update)

I was laid off as a quality inspector and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. It has been weighing on me all week. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

When I finally got through, the agent said my employer had responded late. Once that cleared, back pay came in one payment.
