Waiting 5 weeks on my first unemployment payment - what worked for you?

I filed my claim 5 weeks ago after being let go as a janitorial supervisor. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Is there a step I could have missed?

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