Waiting 7 weeks on my first unemployment payment - 8 months and counting

I filed my claim 7 weeks ago after being let go as a quality inspector. 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?

Mine took about 7 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.
