My first unemployment payment still has not arrived, electrician's helper here

I applied for unemployment in Baltimore 9 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I am in Baltimore, in case local advice matters. 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 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.
