Jessica from Galveston asks:

How can I get started collecting my money today?

Statepay support representative suggests:

f you haven't yet filed for your unemployment insurance, you need to file for benefits now. Waiting actually costs you money. You will not receive any back-pay, so, it is extremely important that you file now. For example, if you decide to wait one month before filing for unemployment, you could be giving up 2 potential checks!
