How long after TWC status changes from 'under review' until final determination?

In my experience, once the status changes from 'under review' to 'processing,' you're usually looking at about 5-7 business days before a final determination is made. This can vary though, especially if your case has any complications like previous employers contesting your claim or missing documentation. The good news is that 'processing' typically means they've gathered all the necessary information and are now just finalizing the decision. It doesn't guarantee approval, but it's a positive sign that your claim is moving forward in the system.

mine went from review 2 processing and then aproved in like 3 days but my brother inlaw waited almost 2 weeks so its kinda random tbh

The whole system is DESIGNED to be confusing and frustrating! I waited 12 days after my status changed and then it just changed to 'disqualified' with ZERO explanation. Had to file an appeal and wait ANOTHER 3 weeks for that to be resolved. TWC is literally the WORST government agency in Texas, and that's saying something!!! They do this on purpose to discourage people from collecting benefits that WE PAID FOR through our employer taxes!!!

The processing to determination took 4 days for me last month! But my roommate is still waiting and it's been 9 days since his status changed to processing. Seems pretty random honestly.

If you need to reach TWC faster, I had great luck using Claimyr. I was in the same situation (stuck in processing for almost 2 weeks with no updates) and couldn't get through on the phone at all. Claimyr got me connected to a TWC rep in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. The rep was able to tell me exactly what was holding up my claim and fixed it right there. There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh and the website is claimyr.com. Honestly worth it when you're stuck in limbo and can't get answers.

I'm going through something similar except mine went backwards! Was in processing for 8 days then suddenly went BACK to under review. When I finally got through to someone they said it was because they needed additional information from my previous employer. Apparently they have 14 days to respond to TWC inquiries. So frustrating! Have you been completing your payment requests even though you haven't been approved yet? That's what the TWC lady told me to do.

Processing to determination usually takes 3-10 business days in Texas, though this timeline can vary based on current claim volume. The change to 'processing' means your claim has passed initial review and TWC is finalizing the determination. Here are some important things to know: 1. Continue filing your payment requests every two weeks even while waiting for a determination 2. Document your work search activities (minimum 3 per week in Texas) 3. Check your correspondence inbox daily for any requests for additional information 4. If you need to speak with someone, try calling right when they open at 7:00 AM Also, while 'processing' is generally positive, it's not a guarantee of approval. The determination will be based on your eligibility factors including reason for job separation, sufficient wage credits, and ability to work.

if u want a hack try calling the spanish number and then press 9 for english sometimes u can get thru faster that way

One important thing to note is that if your determination takes longer than 21 days from your initial application date, you might qualify for a special payment option called Payment Under Timeliness (PUT). This is basically TWC acknowledging they're taking too long to process claims. If approved, you'll receive benefits while they continue reviewing your case. You'll need to specifically ask about this when you reach a representative, as they don't always offer this information proactively.
