Waiting 10 weeks on my first unemployment payment, pharmacy technician here

I was laid off as a pharmacy technician and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. 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.
