My first unemployment payment still has not arrived (Boston)

I filed my claim 4 weeks ago after being let go as a sales associate. There are 4 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date.

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

Keep certifying every week even while you wait. If they find you eligible, the weeks you certified are the ones that count.
