Waiting 4 weeks on my first unemployment payment

I filed my claim 4 weeks ago after being let go as a procurement assistant. It has been a long 4 weeks. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. What would you check first?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

Mine took about 4 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.
