Waiting 17 weeks on my first unemployment payment

I filed my claim 17 weeks ago after being let go as a school bus driver. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Mine took about 17 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.
