Congratulations on winning your appeal! Yes, you'll need to request payment for all eligible weeks. Log into your TWC account and look for the option to request payment for previous weeks. You should be able to submit payment requests for all the weeks that were in question during your appeal period. After you submit those requests, it typically takes 2-3 business days for the payments to process if direct deposit is set up (longer for debit card or paper checks). If the system doesn't allow you to request payment for some reason, you might need to call TWC to have them manually release those weeks for payment. Good luck!

Congratulations on winning your appeal! That's such a relief after all that waiting. For requesting payment for the back weeks, you'll want to log into your TWC account and look for the "Request Payment" section. You should be able to see all the weeks that are now eligible for payment and request them individually. Make sure to request payment for ALL the weeks that were held up during the appeal process - sometimes people miss a week or two and then have to call to get it sorted out later. If you run into any issues with the system not letting you request certain weeks, that's when you'd need to call TWC to have them manually release those payments.

Just a heads-up - make sure you log into your TWC account and verify there are no pending issues with your claim. Sometimes they need additional information before releasing the first payment, and they don't always notify you clearly. The payment status section will show if there's anything holding up your deposit.

That's a great sign that it shows "payment request processed"! From my experience, once you see that status, you're usually just waiting on the banking side of things. Since you filed on Dec 30th and it's now processed, I'd expect to see it in your account by January 3rd or 4th at the latest. The holiday definitely slowed things down this week. Try not to stress too much - TWC is generally reliable with getting payments out once they're processed, it's just the timing that can vary. Keep an eye on your account over the next couple days!

For future reference, payment processing dates and actual deposit dates can sometimes vary by 1-3 business days. This is normal, especially during system updates or high-volume periods. If your TWC account shows the payment was processed, it's very rarely an issue with your claim - just a timing delay in the banking system. If you ever go more than 3 business days past the processing date without receiving your deposit, then you should contact TWC directly. Also, always make sure your correspondence inbox is empty of any eligibility questions that might hold up your payments.

I had this exact same issue a few months back and it was nerve-wracking! What I learned is that TWC sometimes batches payments differently during system updates or when there's high claim volume. My direct deposit was delayed by 2 days but eventually came through. One thing that helped me stay informed was signing up for text alerts through my bank - that way I got notified the moment the deposit hit instead of constantly checking my account. Also, if you're really tight on funds, some banks will show pending deposits before they officially clear, so it might be worth calling your bank to see if there's anything pending under TWC or Texas Workforce Commission.

When I filed in March, I noticed the approval status was actually visible in a different place than I expected. Try going to your TWC account homepage, then click on "Claim and Payment Status" (as someone already mentioned), but then look for a tab that says "Claim Information" or "Determination Status" - sometimes it's not on the main status page but hidden in a submenu. Also, check your email including spam/junk folders for notifications from TWC. They send emails when they update your claim status or add correspondence to your inbox. One more thing - if you worked for multiple employers in your base period, TWC might take longer to process your claim because they have to verify with each employer.

I went through this same frustrating experience a few months ago! Here's what I wish someone had told me from the start: 1. **Keep requesting payment** - This is crucial! Even if you haven't heard anything yet, you MUST request payment on your designated day (Tuesday for SSNs ending in even numbers like yours). Missing these requests can cost you weeks of benefits. 2. **Check multiple places online** - Beyond the main status page, look under "Correspondence" in your account for any determination letters. Sometimes the decision is posted there before it shows up in your main claim status. 3. **Document everything** - Start your work search activities now (3 per week in Texas) and keep detailed records. If you get approved, you'll need to show you've been actively looking for work from day one. 4. **Be patient but persistent** - Initial processing typically takes 2-4 weeks, but can be longer if they need to verify employment history or if there are any red flags. The waiting is absolutely nerve-wracking when you have bills due, but hang in there! Most people do get approved eventually. Just make sure you're following all the requirements while you wait so you don't lose out on benefits due to technicalities.

This happened to me but with a much smaller amount ($780). I appealed and brought all my documentation to the hearing. The TWC representative actually admitted their system had a glitch that affected how offset payments were processed for claims from 2021-2022. They ended up canceling my overpayment entirely. So definitely appeal and specifically ask if there were known system issues during that time period.

I'm dealing with something similar right now - got hit with a $2,100 overpayment notice from 2021 even though I collected benefits for 6 weeks in 2023. Like everyone else is saying, it makes zero sense that they didn't automatically deduct it then. One thing I learned from my research is that you can request a "benefit accuracy measurement" review if you think their calculation is wrong. It's separate from the regular appeal process and specifically looks at whether their systems correctly processed your case. I found this option buried deep in the TWC website under "Benefit Overpayment Resources." Also, document EVERYTHING - take screenshots of your online account, save all emails, and if you do get through to someone on the phone, ask for their name and write down what they tell you. TWC's record-keeping is inconsistent and having your own paper trail can be crucial during the appeal process. The whole situation is incredibly stressful but don't let them intimidate you into just paying without fighting it. Good luck!
