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

I applied for unemployment in Milwaukee 22 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. What would you check first?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
