I was laid off as a line cook and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I am in Columbus, in case local advice matters. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. What would you check first?

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.
