My first unemployment payment still has not arrived (update)

I filed my claim 19 weeks ago after being let go as a social media manager. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Is there a step I could have missed?

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.
