Excitement down at the unemployment office

Well, we acted too soon. My girlfriend and I went to the unemployment office for probably the 65th time this morning. The line was unusually long, so we waited about 15-20 minutes before we were helped. When we got up there the lady had informed us that we had both been paid. A nice shiny envelope was waiting for me when I got home confirming the funds. So, I wasted 40 minutes of precious mid-morning sleeping time.
Only thing is, I only got paid for 1 week. I don't believe that has ever happened to me before. Normally we get 2 weeks worth of pay since we only certify every other week. I'm rather confused, hopefully I won't just lose that week of pay.
