Just checked with a friend who also requested on Sunday. Her payment is showing as deposited today (12/24), but it won't be available until the 26th because of the holiday. So TWC processed it quickly, but the banking system slows things down with holidays.

Glad to hear your payment is showing as pending now! That's a huge relief, especially during the holidays. For future reference, I've found that Wells Fargo usually makes unemployment deposits available early in the morning (around 6-7 AM) on the scheduled day. So you'll probably see it hit your account first thing Thursday morning. The anxiety of waiting for that first payment is real - been there myself. Once you get into the routine, you'll know exactly when to expect it each week.

Has anyone else noticed that TWC seems to have more delays near the end of each month? I wonder if it's because that's when more people have their payment request dates set. Mine is always the 30th and I feel like every couple months there's some kind of delay.

I'm glad to see your payment came through! This is actually a pretty common issue with TWC payments, especially to Chime accounts. I've been getting unemployment for about 6 months now and I've noticed that Chime sometimes has delays with ACH transfers, particularly on busy processing days. The good news is that once TWC shows "processed" on their end, the money is definitely coming - it's just a matter of when the banks finish their back-and-forth. For future reference, I've found that payments tend to be more reliable earlier in the week (Tuesday-Thursday) compared to Fridays or Mondays when there's more banking traffic.

Quick update on my earlier comment - I just double-checked and according to the ID.me help center, a U.S. passport counts as a "primary document" but you'll still need something for the secondary verification. Good options if you don't have your SS card are: - W-2 from last year - Recent tax return (doesn't need to be the full return, just the first page with your info) - Utility bill with your name and current address - Health insurance card Hope this helps clarify things!

Just wanted to add that if you're having trouble with document photos, try scanning them with your phone's built-in scanner app (like Notes on iPhone or Google Drive scanner) instead of just taking regular photos. The scanner apps usually produce clearer, more uniform images that ID.me accepts more easily. Also, make sure there's no glare or shadows on the documents - I had to retake mine twice because of lighting issues. Good luck with your verification!

Just wanted to give you a quick update on timelines - I went through this exact process last month. Filed my Motion to Reopen on day 12 (cutting it close!) and got approval notification about 10 days later. New hearing was scheduled 3 weeks out from approval. The whole thing from missed hearing to final decision took about 6 weeks total. One thing that really helped me was organizing everything chronologically - date you were let go, date you filed initial claim, date of first determination, date of missed hearing, etc. The hearing officer appreciated having a clear timeline to follow. Also, if you have any witnesses who can verify the restructuring (former coworkers, supervisor, etc.), see if they're willing to participate in your hearing by phone. Good luck - you've got this!

I went through something very similar about 6 months ago - missed my hearing due to a family emergency and panicked when I saw the decision. Here's exactly what worked for me: 1. File the Motion to Reopen ASAP through the TWC appeals portal (don't wait!) 2. In your motion, be very specific about the car breakdown - include times, location, what happened 3. Attach copies of that tow receipt and repair estimate you mentioned 4. For the "quit vs. laid off" issue, use the exact wording from your termination letter in your motion 5. Keep requesting payments every 2 weeks even though you'll get denied - this is crucial for backpay The whole process took about 5 weeks for me from filing the motion to getting my new hearing. I actually won my case and got all my back benefits. The key is having good documentation (which it sounds like you do) and being persistent. Don't let them wear you down - you paid into this system and deserve these benefits if you're eligible. Also, call in 20 minutes early for your new hearing when you get it scheduled. I learned that lesson the hard way from my first missed hearing!

I've been on TWC unemployment for about 6 months now and can confirm what others are saying - Thursday requests almost always hit on Monday. The only time I've gotten Friday deposits is when I requested super early (like 6 AM) on a Tuesday or Wednesday. TWC's processing times are pretty consistent but not fast. Also make sure you screenshot your confirmation page after submitting your request - I've had a couple times where the system glitched and I needed proof that I submitted on time. Hope your first payment goes smoothly!

Just wanted to chime in as someone who's been dealing with TWC for about a year now. The timing really does depend on when you submit and what day of the week it is. I've noticed that if you request on Thursday, you're looking at Monday for sure. The system seems to batch process payments and weekends definitely don't count as business days. One thing I learned the hard way - make sure you have all your work search activities documented BEFORE you request. I once had to go back and add missing activities and it delayed my payment by almost a week. Also, if this is your first payment, it might take a bit longer than usual since they sometimes do additional verification on initial claims. The oil field layoffs have been rough lately - sorry you're going through this. At least the TWC benefits help bridge the gap while you're job hunting. Good luck with your request tomorrow!
