I applied for unemployment in Milwaukee 8 weeks ago and the status page still says pending. Any experience at all would help. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. 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.

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