Final update: After following the advice here about requesting a Tier 2 specialist and an adjudication escalation, I received my determination letter today! My claim was approved and they're releasing 8 weeks of back payments. For anyone else stuck in this situation, the combination of calling early (7:01am), asking specifically for a Tier 2 specialist, and requesting an "adjudication escalation" with a confirmation number was what finally worked. Thank you all for your help - this forum literally saved me from eviction.
Excellent news! Make sure you continue submitting your payment requests on your assigned filing days even after receiving this initial payment. Also, double-check that your payment method (direct deposit or debit card) is set up correctly in the system to avoid further delays.
I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - my claim has been stuck for 6 weeks and I'm getting the same runaround from TWC. Reading through all these responses gives me hope that there are actually specific steps I can take. I'm going to try the Tier 2 specialist approach tomorrow morning at 7:01am and request an adjudication escalation. It's frustrating that we have to navigate this system like detectives just to get basic information about our own claims. Has anyone had success with contacting their state representative's office? I'm wondering if that's worth trying if the escalation doesn't work.
So what happened?? Did you go back? Did you quit officially? Did the agency find you a new job?? I'm invested in this story now lol
Update: My recruiter FINALLY called me back this afternoon. She apologized and admitted they've had 3 other people leave that placement in the last month! She's looking for a new assignment for me and said I don't need to go back to that workplace. I'm relieved I don't have to deal with filing for unemployment now, but I'm still shocked a company this dysfunctional is even operating. Fingers crossed the next placement is better!
That's such a relief! I'm so glad your recruiter finally got back to you and that you won't have to deal with that toxic environment anymore. The fact that 3 other people left that same placement in just one month says everything about how bad it really was. You definitely made the right call not going back - no job is worth your mental health and safety. Hope your next assignment is much better!

I'm in a similar situation - applied for DUA on July 15th and still waiting with no updates. Reading through all these responses is actually really helpful! I had no idea I should still be requesting payments while pending. I've been afraid to request anything without approval. Going to log in right now and submit my payment request that's due this week. Also going to check that correspondence section someone mentioned to see if there's anything I missed. It's frustrating but sounds like 3-4 weeks is pretty normal for DUA processing right now. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!
