My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - first time posting

I filed my claim 20 weeks ago after being let go as a marketing coordinator. It has been weighing on me all week. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Mine took about 20 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.

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