Waiting 23 weeks on my first unemployment payment

I filed my claim 23 weeks ago after being let go as a marketing coordinator. I do not usually post, so bear with me. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

Mine took about 23 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.
