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

I was laid off as a line cook 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. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
