Waiting 8 weeks on my first unemployment payment after 8 years as an accounts payable clerk

I filed my claim 8 weeks ago after being let go as an accounts payable clerk. The page shows my claim as open but no payment date. What would you check first?

Keep certifying every week even while you wait. If they find you eligible, the weeks you certified are the ones that count.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
