Waiting 8 weeks on my first unemployment payment - first time posting

I filed my claim 8 weeks ago after being let go as an office manager. It has been weighing on me all week. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. What would you check first?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Mine took about 8 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.
