Should I still file a claim against my employer if I still haven’t received my final paycheck 3 weeks late after being fired?

I got fired from my job about 3 weeks ago. I was told to bring back the uniform to receive my check which I did. However, when I did they told me that they mailed my check to me without my say so. As weeks went past and I didn’t hear anything from them, I called but I haven’t heard back.
