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

I filed my claim 16 weeks ago after being let go as a production planner. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Is there a step I could have missed?

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

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