First unemployment deposit is late, what should I check? - what worked for you?

I filed my claim 14 weeks ago after being let go as a line cook. 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?

Mine took about 14 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.

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