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

I filed my claim 22 weeks ago after being let go as an electrician's helper. Any experience at all would help. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
