My first unemployment payment still has not arrived

I filed my claim 25 weeks ago after being let go as a dental hygienist. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Check the messages section of your claim, not just the dashboard. That is where my request for more information was hiding.

Mine took about 25 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.
