My first unemployment payment still has not arrived - what worked for you?

I applied for unemployment in Spokane 22 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. It has been a long 22 weeks. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Check the messages section of your claim, not just the dashboard. That is where my request for more information was hiding.

Mine took about 22 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.
