My first unemployment payment still has not arrived (update)

I filed my claim 26 weeks ago after being let go as a forklift operator. Any experience at all would help. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

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

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