Waiting 26 weeks on my first unemployment payment (update)

I filed my claim 26 weeks ago after being let go as a bookkeeper. I do not usually post, so bear with me. 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.

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.
