My first unemployment payment still has not arrived (update)

I filed my claim 24 weeks ago after being let go as a hotel front-desk agent. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 24 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.
