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

I was laid off as a call-centre agent and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. What would you check first?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
