You need to be firm with them. Tell them you will report them, that's when they start to give you answers.

Your not talking to the right people. My advice is to ask someone with authority to give you an answer by Monday. And continue to follow up until you get a straight answer. Sometimes when you talk to a clerk in an office they aren't concerned whether you have the answer your looking for.
Did you call you previous supervisor or manager and ask them were your check is. Om Sure they can track it.
