My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - any advice?

I was laid off as a bank teller and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Is there a step I could have missed?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Mine took about 25 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.
