Waiting 6 weeks on my first unemployment payment

I applied for unemployment in Providence 6 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I called the state line four times and only reached a recording. 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 6 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.
