My first unemployment payment still has not arrived after 18 years as a forklift operator

I applied for unemployment in Seattle 22 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. There are 18 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub.

Mine took about 22 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.
