TWC payment request issues: Can't request payment or submit new application after 3-week wait
I've been waiting 3 weeks between payment requests and now I can't even request payment or submit a new application. I've tried calling TWC multiple times but can't get through to a live person. This is so frustrating! Has anyone else dealt with this? What can I do to fix this mess?

TWC says I'm ineligible online but I have an eligibility letter! Need Spanish-speaking rep ASAP!
I got a letter saying I'm eligible for unemployment benefits, but when I try to claim it says I'm ineligible! I called and finally got through to someone, but they don't speak Spanish. Now I have to wait even longer for a Spanish-speaking rep. Has anyone else dealt with this? It's so frustrating!

The whole system is broken af. They need to hire more bilingual staff and fix their janky website. We're all just stuck in this hellscape together 😭
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're trying to make it as difficult as possible
fr fr. its a clown show 🤡

TWC: 4 weeks, no unemployment check. Running out of savings. Help?
Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot. Been unemployed for a while now and I'm still waiting on my check. It's been 4 weeks already and I'm running low on my savings. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to speed things up or what might be causing the delay?

TWC: No unemployment check after 4 weeks since layoff. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot. Got laid off due to work reduction about a month ago and still haven't received my unemployment check. It's been 4 weeks now and I'm starting to worry. Anyone else dealing with delays? Any advice on how to speed things up when I talk to TWC?

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' your documents? Make copies of EVERYTHING you send them!
Omg yes! I had to send my ID verification like 3 times 🙄

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

I tried Claimyr too, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's unfortunate that we have to resort to third-party services, but when you're desperate, anything that works is worth a shot.

This is such a mess! I've been dealing with TWC for weeks now and it's like they don't want to help anyone. The fact that people are having to pay $20 just to talk to someone shows how broken this system really is. I'm going to try the fax method someone mentioned - if TWC wants to live in the stone age, I guess we have to meet them there! Has anyone had luck with visiting the local offices in person? I'm thinking of taking a day off work just to camp out there until someone helps me.
