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

I filed my claim 9 weeks ago after being let go as a hotel front-desk agent. I am in Memphis, in case local advice matters. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 9 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.
