How long after ID.me verification will TWC release my funds?

had the same prob last month, took them about 4 days to update in their system after id.me for me. but my friend got her $ the next day so idk seems random

The official timeline is 3-5 business days for ID.me verification to process through TWC's system. They receive these in batches, not real-time. If you log into your TWC portal, check your Correspondence Inbox as they usually send a notification once verification is complete. Keep requesting your payments on your scheduled day even while waiting - that's important! If it takes longer than 5 business days, that could indicate another issue with your claim besides identity verification.

Is your claim showing any other issues besides the ID verification? Sometimes they verify your identity but then you have ANOTHER problem to fix! I had to verify with ID.me and THEN they put a work search audit on my claim and delayed everything ANOTHER 2 weeks. Check if there's anything else flagged on your claim dashboard!!

When I was struggling to get through after my ID.me verification (took them 9 days with no update), I tried Claimyr to reach an actual TWC agent. It saved my sanity! They got me through to a rep who manually updated my verification status while I was on the phone. Their site at claimyr.com has a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. Totally worth it when you're in limbo waiting.

anyone know if ID.me is required for EVERYONE now? i got approved last month without doing it??

For most claimants, TWC processes ID.me verifications within 3-5 business days as others have mentioned. However, there are a couple things you can do to help things move along: 1. Log into your TWC account daily to check status updates 2. Make sure your payment request is submitted on schedule (this is critical) 3. If it's been more than 5 business days, call TWC at 800-939-6631 between 7am-7pm 4. Check your banking information is correct in the system One thing to note - TWC doesn't count the day you verified as part of the 3-5 day processing window. So if you verified on Monday, they start counting Tuesday as day one.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!!!!! I verified with ID.me SIX TIMES and they still kept saying they couldn't verify me. Had to go to an ACTUAL TWC OFFICE with my birth certificate, social security card, AND drivers license. Even after that it took 3 WEEKS to get paid. Don't trust their "3-5 day" timeline, it's LIES.

Just wanted to say good luck!! The waiting is the worst part. My funds showed up 4 days after verification completed but it was over a weekend so actually only 2 business days. Hope you get yours fast too!

UPDATE: Just got the money in my account this morning! So it took exactly 3 business days after ID.me verification for everything to process and funds to be released. Thanks everyone for your help and advice!

So glad to see your update that everything worked out! Your experience is pretty typical - the 3-5 business day timeline is usually accurate for most people. For anyone else reading this thread who might be going through the same thing, just remember to stay patient and keep doing your payment requests on schedule even while waiting for verification to clear. The system works, it just takes a few days to process everything on their end.

Just went through this process myself last week! ID.me verification completed on Tuesday morning, and my funds hit my account Friday afternoon - so about 3.5 business days total. The key thing that helped me was logging into my TWC portal every morning to check for updates. On Thursday I could see my payment status had changed from "pending - identity verification needed" to "processed" even though the money didn't show up in my bank until the next day. Don't panic if it takes the full 5 business days, that's still totally normal. The waiting is nerve-wracking but the system does work!

This whole thread is really encouraging! I'm currently on day 2 of waiting for my ID.me verification to process (completed it Wednesday morning). The stress of waiting when you have bills due is real - I totally get it. It's really helpful to see everyone's actual timelines and know that 3-5 business days is pretty standard. I've been checking my TWC portal twice a day and making sure to stay on top of my payment request schedule like everyone suggested. Fingers crossed mine processes by early next week! Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, especially the tip about watching for status changes in the portal before the money actually hits your account.

I'm currently going through this exact same situation right now! Completed my ID.me verification yesterday afternoon and I'm anxiously waiting for TWC to process it. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring - it sounds like most people get their funds within 3-5 business days which isn't too bad considering how backed up the system usually is. I've already updated my banking info and I'm planning to keep checking my portal daily like others suggested. The waiting game is definitely stressful when you're counting on those funds, but at least we know the process works! Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines and tips - this thread is super helpful for anyone going through the ID.me verification process.

This thread has been incredibly helpful! I'm currently on day 1 of waiting for my ID.me verification to process (just completed it this morning). It's reassuring to see so many real experiences with actual timelines - the 3-5 business day window seems pretty consistent across everyone's stories. I love the tip about checking the TWC portal daily to watch for status changes before the money actually hits your account. That gives me something concrete to monitor instead of just obsessively checking my bank balance! Going to make sure I stay on top of my payment request schedule while I wait. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - knowing what to expect makes this waiting period so much more manageable!

Just wanted to add my experience to this helpful thread! I completed my ID.me verification last month and it took exactly 4 business days for my funds to be released. What really helped was setting up text notifications through the TWC portal so I got alerts when my status changed. Also, make sure your direct deposit info is 100% correct - I've seen people get delayed because of banking errors even after verification clears. The waiting is brutal but based on everyone's experiences here, you should have your money within the normal timeframe. Keep submitting those payment requests and hang in there!

This is such a comprehensive thread - thank you to everyone who shared their actual timelines and experiences! I'm about to start the ID.me verification process myself (just got the email from TWC this morning) and was dreading the unknown wait time. Seeing that most people get their funds within 3-5 business days is really reassuring. The tips about checking the portal daily, keeping up with payment requests, and setting up text notifications are super helpful too. It's amazing how much stress the uncertainty adds to an already difficult situation. Really appreciate this community for sharing real experiences instead of just the official TWC website info!

I had no idea about checking the TWC portal daily for status changes or setting up text notifications, so thank you to everyone who mentioned those tips! Going to go enable notifications right now.

Thanks for creating this thread and sharing your timeline - it's exactly the kind of real-world info we need when going through this process!

Currently on day 3 of waiting for my ID.me verification to process and this thread has been a lifesaver for managing my expectations! Completed verification on Monday and based on everyone's experiences here, I should hopefully see my funds by Thursday or Friday.
