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

I filed my claim 2 weeks ago after being let go as an IT help-desk technician. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. What would you check first?

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

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