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

I was laid off as an accountant and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 21 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.
