Waiting 2 weeks on my first unemployment payment - 2 weeks in

I filed my claim 2 weeks ago after being let go as a copywriter. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. What would you check first?

Mine took about 2 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.

Keep certifying every week even while you wait. If they find you eligible, the weeks you certified are the ones that count.
