How long after TWC appeal reversal until benefits are paid?
Finally got my appeal decision back from the Commission and they reversed the previous determination in my favor! I've been fighting this for almost 2 months now. Has anyone gone through this process before? How long does it typically take for the money to actually hit your account after they reverse a decision? My rent is due next week and I'm getting anxious about timing. I checked my payment status online but it just shows 'pending' with no estimated date.

Congrats on winning ur appeal! Mine took like 8 days to show up after they reversed my disqualification last month. Some of my coworkers got it faster tho, like 3-4 days. Depends on ur bank too I think

•Thanks, that gives me a better idea. Did you get a notification when they processed it or did it just show up in your account?

When a Commission reversal happens, TWC typically processes payments within 3-7 business days. However, I've seen it take up to 14 days in some cases, especially if there were multiple weeks of back payments. Your payment status showing 'pending' is actually a good sign - it means they're processing it. If it doesn't change to 'processed' within 5 business days, you might want to try contacting TWC directly to make sure there aren't any other issues holding up your payment. Sometimes there can be additional verification steps needed even after a favorable appeal decision.

•This is correct. Also worth noting that if your appeal covers multiple payment request periods, they sometimes process them in batches rather than all at once, which can make the total time longer.

•That's definitely not normal and shouldn't be happening. If your appeal was decided in your favor in January and it's now April, something else must be wrong. Did you check your correspondence inbox on the TWC portal to see if they sent you any notices requesting additional information?

After dealing with the same frustrating situation last month, I was about to lose my mind trying to reach someone at TWC. I kept getting busy signals or disconnected after hours on hold. A friend recommended Claimyr (claimyr.com) and it actually worked! They got me connected to a TWC agent in about 20 minutes instead of spending days trying to get through. The agent was able to tell me exactly why my payment was delayed and fixed it while I was on the phone. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. Definitely worth it to avoid the stress of waiting and wondering.

•does this actually work? seems weird that a third party can get you through when the regular number doesn't work

•Yes, it legitimately works. They use a system that keeps dialing on your behalf and then connects you once they get through. The TWC agent I spoke with was super helpful once I actually got someone on the line.

my cousin had this happen and he said it was about 10 days i think. but he had direct deposit setup so that probably made it faster. do you have direct deposit or are they mailing you a card? mail takes forever these days lol

•I've got direct deposit set up, so hopefully that speeds things up! Just anxious because I've already waited so long for this appeal decision.

To add some clarity here: When the Commission reverses a determination in your favor, TWC has to do several things: 1. Process the reversal in their system 2. Calculate all weeks you're eligible for retroactively 3. Apply any work search requirements or other eligibility factors 4. Then release the payment This typically takes 3-7 business days as mentioned, but direct deposit is usually faster than debit card payments. Your payment status showing 'pending' means they're actively working on it. If it's been more than 7 business days since your favorable decision AND the status is still pending, then I'd recommend contacting them directly. One other thing to note: if you had stopped requesting payment while waiting for the appeal, you may need to submit those requests retroactively. The determination letter should explain this if applicable.

•Thank you for the detailed explanation! I've continued doing my payment requests every two weeks while the appeal was in process, so hopefully that will help things move faster. The decision letter arrived on Tuesday, so it sounds like I should give it until at least next Tuesday before getting too concerned.

•Mine was also about job separation - they initially said I was fired for misconduct but I provided evidence showing it was actually a position elimination due to restructuring. Glad you won your case too!
