Waiting 19 weeks on my first unemployment payment - 9 months and counting

I applied for unemployment in Boise 19 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. Any experience at all would help. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Mine took about 19 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.

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