If I could give 10 stars I would

If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!


Really made a difference

Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.


Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.

Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.


An incredibly helpful service

An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!


Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.

Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.


IT WORKS!! Not a scam!

I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

UPDATE: I finally got through to TWC today! I used the Claimyr service after struggling for days to get through on my own. The agent confirmed they received both of my mailed registration forms, but they hadn't been processed yet. She was able to verify my work registration on the spot and said my claim should update to eligible within 48 hours. She also confirmed I'll get backpay for the missed weeks as long as I've been doing my regular payment requests (which I have). Such a relief! Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

That's great news! Glad you got it sorted out. Make sure you keep an eye on your claim status over the next few days to confirm it changes to eligible as they promised.

Awesome update! So glad the Claimyr service worked for you too. It's ridiculous how hard it is to get through to TWC on your own, but at least there are solutions that actually work. Hope your claim status updates quickly and you get those backpayments sorted out!

Congrats on getting it resolved! Your experience is a perfect example of why it's so important to speak directly with an agent when dealing with these registration issues. For anyone else reading this thread who might face similar problems, a few key takeaways: 1. Don't panic if your claim shows ineligible due to late work registration - it CAN be fixed 2. Keep doing your payment requests even while ineligible 3. Getting through to an agent (whether by persistent calling or using services like Claimyr) can resolve it immediately rather than waiting weeks for mail processing 4. Always verify that ALL your requirements are met when you speak to an agent - work registration AND work search activities Thanks for updating us with your resolution - it really helps other community members know what to expect and what actually works!

This is such a helpful summary! As someone new to this community, I really appreciate seeing real examples of how these issues get resolved. It's reassuring to know that even when you mess up the timing (like Josef did), there are still ways to fix it and get your benefits back. The step-by-step breakdown and the emphasis on keeping up with payment requests even when ineligible is really valuable advice. Thanks for taking the time to organize all the key lessons from this thread!

This thread is such a goldmine of information! I'm currently dealing with a TWC issue myself (different from the overpayment display error but equally frustrating) and seeing how everyone rallied to help Noah figure out his situation really gives me hope. The fact that multiple people experienced the same "portal correction request" solution shows this is definitely a systemic issue with their March 2025 processing. What I find most valuable is how specific everyone got with the details - knowing to ask for the "benefits control" team and not accepting vague "we'll look into it" responses is the kind of insider knowledge you can't get anywhere else. TWC's system clearly has some serious technical issues, but this community's collective problem-solving is amazing. Noah, congrats on getting it resolved, and thanks for posting the update - that kind of closure is so helpful for future readers dealing with similar issues!

I completely agree! This thread should honestly be pinned or turned into a FAQ for anyone dealing with TWC display errors. What's really impressive is how everyone kept sharing specific details even after Noah got his issue resolved - that shows real community spirit. The consistency of the "portal correction request" solution across multiple people's experiences makes it clear this was a widespread system problem. I'm saving all these tips because knowing exactly what to ask for and which department to request can save hours of frustration. It's sad that we have to crowdsource solutions to government system glitches, but I'm so grateful for communities like this where people actually help each other navigate bureaucratic nightmares!

This entire thread has been such a valuable resource! I've been following along because I'm dealing with a similar TWC account display issue, and the collective knowledge shared here is incredible. What really stands out to me is how this community identified a pattern - multiple people with March 2025 approvals experiencing the same "overpayment" display error, all resolved with the same "portal correction request" solution. This is exactly the kind of real-world intelligence that makes these forums so valuable. For anyone finding this thread in the future: the key takeaways seem to be 1) Don't panic if your account shows overpayment but you never got a determination letter, 2) Call TWC and specifically ask about a "portal correction request", 3) Get transferred to the "benefits control" team if the first rep can't help, and 4) Consider using services like Claimyr or visiting Workforce Solutions in person if phone calls aren't working. Noah, huge thanks for following up with the resolution - that closure is so helpful for future readers dealing with this exact scenario!

This thread has been incredibly enlightening! I just joined this community specifically because I found this discussion while frantically searching for help with my own TWC account issues. What strikes me most is how organized and supportive everyone has been - not only did people share their own experiences, but they also provided specific actionable steps that actually work. The fact that so many people experienced the exact same "March 2025 overpayment display error" really highlights how widespread this system glitch was. I'm printing out the key points from this thread to have them ready when I call TWC tomorrow. It's amazing how this community has essentially created a troubleshooting guide that's more useful than anything on TWC's official website. Thanks to everyone who contributed their knowledge, and especially to Noah for starting this discussion and following through with updates!

I've been filing TWC payments for about 8 months and your 7am filing time is perfect! That puts you right at the front of their daily processing queue. Since your status shows "processed," you should definitely see the deposit by Wednesday or Thursday morning. One tip - download the ReliaCard mobile app if you haven't already. The deposit usually shows up there first, sometimes even before 6am, and you can set up push notifications so you'll know the moment it hits. This takes away all the guesswork and constant checking. Given that it's Tuesday and you filed early morning with a clean processed status, I'd bet on Wednesday or Thursday morning at the latest. The system has been pretty reliable lately for most people despite some of the horror stories you might read.

This is exactly what I needed to hear! I just downloaded the ReliaCard app and set up the push notifications like you suggested. It's so reassuring to know that filing at 7am puts me at the front of the queue - I was worried I should have filed even earlier. Since my status shows "processed" and everyone seems to agree Wednesday/Thursday is realistic, I'm feeling much more confident about making my bill payments on time. Thanks for the tip about deposits sometimes showing up before 6am in the app - that's going to be really helpful for planning!

I've been filing TWC for about 10 months now and wanted to reassure you - filing at 7am this morning was absolutely the right move! You're definitely at the front of their processing queue. Since your status already shows "processed," that's a really good sign that everything went through cleanly without any flags or issues. In my experience, when you file that early on a Tuesday with processed status, you're looking at Wednesday or Thursday morning for the deposit to hit your ReliaCard. The deposits typically appear between 6-9am, so check first thing in the morning rather than throughout the day. One thing that helped me manage the anxiety of waiting - the ReliaCard app shows pending deposits sometimes a few hours before they're actually available to spend, so you might get advance notice that it's coming. Given your timing and clean status, I'd be very surprised if you don't see it by Thursday morning at the absolute latest.

One more thing - if you can't find the card and need to request a replacement, be prepared to wait another 7-10 business days. If you're in a financial pinch, definitely switch to direct deposit like someone suggested above. Your existing funds will transfer to the new payment method.

UPDATE: You guys were right! I found it in a stack of mail I had set aside. Plain white envelope from U.S. Bank, looked exactly like junk mail. I've already set up direct deposit for future payments though. Thanks everyone for your help!

Glad you found it! This is such a common issue - I work at a local community center and we get people asking about this all the time. The plain white envelope from U.S. Bank really does look like a credit card solicitation. We actually started telling people to expect it in our unemployment workshops because so many folks were accidentally throwing them away. Setting up direct deposit is definitely the way to go for future payments - much more reliable than waiting for mail!

0 coins

That's really great that your community center is helping people with this! I bet you've saved so many people from accidentally tossing their cards. The workshops sound super helpful - do you cover other common TWC issues too? I had no idea about the direct deposit option until today, and it seems like something everyone should know about from the start.

Just wanted to add that you should also keep track of exactly when your last teacher paycheck comes through - sometimes districts have slight variations in their final payment dates. Once that last check clears, make sure to note it because that's when you can expect to start receiving your full unemployment benefits (assuming you're still unemployed and eligible). Also, since you mentioned relocating within Texas, you might want to update your address with TWC once you move to avoid any mail delivery issues with important correspondence about your claim.

0 coins

That's really good advice about tracking the exact date of the last paycheck! I hadn't thought about potential variations in when districts send out their final payments. I'll make sure to keep detailed records of when each check comes through so I know exactly when to expect my full benefits to kick in. And yes, I'll definitely update my address with TWC once we move - don't want to miss any important notices. Thanks for thinking of those details!

0 coins

One more thing to keep in mind - make sure you're reporting your teacher salary on the correct weeks when you do your payment requests. TWC asks for earnings for the specific week being requested, so if you get paid every two weeks or monthly, you'll need to figure out which week(s) that paycheck covers. For example, if you get paid on the 15th for work periods that span multiple weeks, you'd report that income for the weeks it actually covers, not just the week you received the payment. This can get a bit tricky with teacher pay schedules, so keep good records of your pay stubs to make sure you're reporting accurately.

0 coins

This is such an important point about timing! As someone new to unemployment claims, I was wondering about this exact issue. So if I understand correctly, if my district pays me monthly on the 30th for the entire previous month, I would need to divide that payment across the weeks it covers rather than reporting it all in the week I received it? That seems like it could get pretty complicated to calculate, especially since teacher contracts can have weird pay periods. Do you happen to know if TWC has any specific guidance on how to break down monthly payments across weekly reporting periods?
