Waiting 26 weeks on my first unemployment payment - any advice?

I was laid off as a warehouse supervisor and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. 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.

Mine took about 26 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.
