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

I filed my claim 4 weeks ago after being let go as a bookkeeper. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. What would you check first?

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.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
