Quit my job for a new one – they haven’t started me yet..

Got hired again with a previous employer for a different role, fully WFH. Put in the 2 weeks notice with my current job and worked the 2 weeks, employment there ended on March 18th. Okay cool the new job starts March 28th, 9 days to relax, surely enough time for the new job to have me set up. Well, I’m not so sure about that. It’s now April 11th and I have not started working yet. The manager for my new role failed to input a request for a company laptop, phone, and other things I needed until April 6th. I have yet to receive my equipment. They won’t let me use my computer, even though I used it before when I worked for them in the past. I don’t understand how management can drop the ball that hard. I should’ve had a paycheck by now. Bills are piling up,…

Well, I’m not so sure about that. It’s now April 11th and I have not started working yet. The manager for my new role failed to input a request for a company laptop, phone, and other things I needed until April 6th.

I have yet to receive my equipment. They won’t let me use my computer, even though I used it before when I worked for them in the past. I don’t understand how management can drop the ball that hard.

I should’ve had a paycheck by now. Bills are piling up, is there anything I can do? Should I ask them for some type of payment? Can I file for unemployment? Am I just SOL?

EDIT**

I live in Portland, Oregon and the company I work for now is in New York City.
