Waiting 3 weeks on my first unemployment payment - any advice?

I filed my claim 3 weeks ago after being let go as an electrician's helper. It has been a long 3 weeks. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Has anyone been through this? How long did it take in the end?

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