My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - 3 months and counting

I applied for unemployment in Denver 10 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. 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?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 3 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
