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

I was laid off as a call-centre agent and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. It has been weighing on me all week. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. 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.
