My first unemployment payment still has not arrived

I filed my claim 9 weeks ago after being let go as a school bus driver. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording.

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.

When I finally got through, the agent said my employer had responded late. Once that cleared, back pay came in one payment.
