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

I was laid off as a machine operator and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 7 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.
