Approved for $170 weekly unemployment - when will first payment arrive after waiting week processed on 4/24?

Just got approved for unemployment. My weekly benefit is $170. I'm looking at my claim information right now, and it shows: Start/Effective Date: 04/03/2023 Benefit Year Ending Date: 04/06/2024 Weekly Benefit Amount: $170.00 Maximum Amount Payable: $5,520.00 Effective Days Remaining: 104 The website shows my waiting week was processed on 04/24/2023. Specifically, under "Latest Transaction(s) as of 04/25/2023" it says: "You last certified for benefits for the week ending 04/23/2023. Your unpaid waiting period was processed on 04/24/2023." There's also a note that says "Weekly payments for $600 showing '0' under the 'Effective Days' column, and Debit Card or Direct Deposit under the 'Type' column, are the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) payments." Anyone know when I'll actually get my first payment? I've completed my waiting week and certified for benefits, but I'm confused about when the money will hit my account. Does the system typically take a few more days after processing the waiting week?

Here's the detailed breakdown of what happens after your waiting week: - Waiting week gets processed (yours was 4/24) - First payment usually releases 2-3 business days after - Direct deposit takes 1-2 additional business days - Debit card can take 7-10 days to arrive in mail If you don't see anything by next week, highly recommend using claimyr.com to get someone on the phone. Way better than trying to call yourself. Make sure you keep certifying every week between Sunday-Saturday. Missing a certification will delay everything!
