Waiting 16 weeks on my first unemployment payment - 16 weeks in

I was laid off as a sales associate and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
