Waiting 9 weeks on my first unemployment payment (update)

I was laid off as a production planner and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub.

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
