My first unemployment payment still has not arrived after 17 years as an insurance claims processor

I was laid off as an insurance claims processor and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I am in Buffalo, in case local advice matters. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording.

Mine took about 11 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.
