My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - 11 months and counting

I filed my claim 17 weeks ago after being let go as a delivery driver. Any experience at all would help. 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 17 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.
