What to do if I recently accepted a work-from-home job about a month ago quality checking paid packages but haven’t been paid?
I was supposed to get on the 6th and my correspondance said my check should have been here Monday or Tuesday. It is now Thursday and still haven’t received the first check. It doesn’t look like I am going to get paid for all my hard work. If so, do I have a case?

Yes, if you have performed work for somone and have not been paid, you could sue to recover the money. Note that if the employer is in state, you could file a small claims suit and act as your own attorney; but if it is out of state, you'd need to file in regular county court, which is more complicated and expensive.
