My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - 6 months and counting

I filed my claim 13 weeks ago after being let go as a welding apprentice. It has been weighing on me all week. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording.

Check the messages section of your claim, not just the dashboard. That is where my request for more information was hiding.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
