My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - 7 weeks in

I filed my claim 7 weeks ago after being let go as a data-entry clerk. It has been weighing on me all week. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

When I finally got through, the agent said my employer had responded late. Once that cleared, back pay came in one payment.
