My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - 5 weeks in

I was laid off as a welding apprentice and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. Thank you in advance. 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 5 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.
