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

I filed my claim 22 weeks ago after being let go as a teaching assistant. It has been weighing on me all week. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 22 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.
