My first unemployment payment still has not arrived after 3 years as a production planner

I was laid off as a production planner and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. It has been weighing on me all week. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. What would you check first?

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

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