My first unemployment payment still has not arrived

I filed my claim 22 weeks ago after being let go as an insurance claims processor. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. 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.

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.
