My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - 21 weeks in

I applied for unemployment in Wichita 21 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I am in Wichita, in case local advice matters. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. What would you check first?

Mine took about 21 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.
