Waiting 16 weeks on my first unemployment payment (update)

I applied for unemployment in Minneapolis 16 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. It has been a long 16 weeks. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

When I finally got through, the agent said my employer had responded late. Once that cleared, back pay came in one payment.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
