My first unemployment payment still has not arrived

I filed my claim 4 weeks ago after being let go as an electrician's helper. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Mine took about 4 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.
