Waiting 25 weeks on my first unemployment payment

I applied for unemployment in Boston 25 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub.

Mine took about 25 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 last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
