Waiting 15 weeks on my first unemployment payment - 15 weeks in

I was laid off as an administrative assistant and filed right away, and I have been certifying every 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?

Mine took about 15 weeks because of an identity check I did not notice. Look for a message or a letter you may have missed in your online account.
