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

I filed my claim 19 weeks ago after being let go as a dental hygienist. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub.

Keep certifying every week even while you wait. If they find you eligible, the weeks you certified are the ones that count.

Mine took about 19 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.
