Waiting 22 weeks on my first unemployment payment - what worked for you?

I filed my claim 22 weeks ago after being let go as a logistics coordinator. Any experience at all would help. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. What would you check first?

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

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