Waiting 12 weeks on my first unemployment payment - what worked for you?

I applied for unemployment in Austin 12 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. There are 9 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?
