Waiting 22 weeks on my first unemployment payment - 5 months and counting

I was laid off as an operations analyst and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. Is there a step I could have missed?

Check the messages section of your claim, not just the dashboard. That is where my request for more information was hiding.

Mine took about 22 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.
