How long after winning TWC appeal before payment shows up?

congrats on winning! mine took about 10 days to update on the website then another 3-4 days for payment. hang in there

It usually takes 7-10 business days for TWC to process reversed determinations in their system. Once that happens, you should see your claim status update from disqualified to eligible. The payment release typically happens within 2-3 business days after that system update. Make sure you've been submitting your biweekly payment requests even while disqualified - if you missed any, you'll need to request backdated payment requests through the Telecenter. Also check your correspondence inbox for any additional paperwork they might need from you.

My experience was completely different! After my appeal was successful, it took almost 3 WEEKS for the system to update and another week for payment. TWC told me there was a 'processing backlog' whatever that means. I had to call them repeatedly to get any movement on my claim. The appeal reversal has to go through several departments before it actually results in payment. So frustrating!

did u check ur correspondence inbox on the twc site? sometimes they send u another form to fill out even after the appeal. happened to my cousin last month

I went through this exact situation in January. Their system takes about 1-2 weeks to process appeal reversals, but here's what I discovered: calling them can expedite the process. However, good luck getting through their phone lines! I tried for days and just kept getting busy signals or disconnected after waiting on hold. I finally found this service called Claimyr that got me connected to a TWC agent within 20 minutes. Cost me a bit, but totally worth it to get my backpay processed faster. The agent was able to manually update my claim status once I explained the situation. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh After I spoke with someone, my payment was processed within 48 hours. Maybe worth considering if your rent is due soon.

Wait, stupid question maybe, but have you been requesting payment every two weeks even though you were disqualified? Because if you haven't been doing that, you might have to call and request backdated payment requests. I made that mistake and it added another 3 weeks to my timeline.

This happened to me earlier this year. After my appeal hearing the officer said I'd won but it took forever to see any money!! The whole system is designed to make us give up honestly. I had to borrow money from family to cover rent while waiting. Took about 2 weeks total but felt like 2 years. I called and called and finally got someone who said "oh I see the issue" and fixed it right there. Then money showed up next day. The squeaky wheel gets the grease with TWC!!!!

One more important thing - when your account does update, double-check the payment amount carefully. Sometimes when backpay is processed after an appeal, they might miss a week or calculate the amount incorrectly. If you notice any discrepancies, contact TWC immediately. It's much easier to fix payment issues before they're finalized than trying to correct them afterward.

let us know what happens! im curious if it comes thru fast or slow for u

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now - won my appeal last week but still waiting for the system to update. From what I'm reading here, it sounds like the timeline varies a lot depending on how backed up they are. Have you tried checking if there's a direct phone number for the appeals department? Sometimes they can give you a more specific timeline than the general customer service line. Also, make sure you have your appeal decision letter handy when you call - they'll probably ask for the date and decision number. Good luck with getting your backpay processed quickly!

Congratulations on winning your appeal! I went through this exact same thing about 6 months ago. In my case, it took exactly 8 business days for the system to update my claim status from disqualified to eligible, and then another 3 days for the payment to hit my account. The key thing that helped speed it up was calling TWC on day 5 and speaking to someone who could see that my appeal had been processed but just needed a manual push to update the system. One tip: when you call, ask them to check if there are any "holds" on your account that might be preventing the automatic processing. Sometimes there are random flags that need to be cleared even after a successful appeal. Also, since your rent is due next week, you might want to reach out to your landlord now to let them know payment is coming but might be a few days late - most landlords are understanding if you communicate proactively. Keep checking your account daily and don't hesitate to call if nothing changes by Friday. You've got this!

I'm in a similar boat - won my appeal 2 weeks ago and still waiting for payment! The TWC system is so slow it's maddening. What I've learned from calling multiple times is that appeal reversals go through a different processing queue than regular claims, which is why it takes longer. They told me 10-15 business days is "normal" but some take up to 20 days depending on workload. I've been calling every few days to check status and the last agent I spoke to said mine should process "any day now" - we'll see! One thing that might help is if you have your appeal hearing recording or transcript, sometimes referencing specific details from that can help the agent locate your case faster in their system. Hang in there, the money will come through eventually!

I just went through this same process last month and wanted to share what worked for me. After winning my appeal, I waited about a week with no system updates, then started calling TWC daily around 8am when they open - that seems to be the best time to actually get through. On my 4th call attempt, I reached an agent who explained that appeal reversals require manual processing by a supervisor, which is why they take longer than regular claims. She was able to see my case was approved but sitting in a queue waiting for supervisor review. She escalated it as "urgent financial hardship" when I explained my situation, and my payment processed within 2 days after that call. The key is being persistent but polite, and specifically asking if they can escalate due to financial hardship. Also, make sure they have your correct direct deposit info on file - sometimes appeal processing can reset those details. Don't give up, the money will come through!

I went through this exact same situation about 4 months ago - the waiting is absolutely nerve-wracking when you're counting on that backpay! In my case, it took about 12 business days for the system to update after my successful appeal, then another 4 days for the actual payment to hit my account. What really helped was calling TWC around day 7 and asking them to put a "priority review" flag on my case since I had urgent bills due. The agent was able to see that everything was approved but just sitting in their appeals processing queue. She moved it to expedited review and boom - payment came through 3 days later. My advice would be to start calling by Thursday if you don't see any system updates by then. Be sure to mention your rent deadline and ask specifically about expedited processing for financial hardship cases. Also, screenshot your current account status daily so you can reference exactly what you're seeing when you call. The $4,200 backpay is definitely worth the persistence - don't let them slow-walk your approved claim! Keep us posted on how it goes.

I'm going through this right now too! Won my appeal 5 days ago and still no movement on the website - everything still shows disqualified. Reading through everyone's experiences here, it sounds like 7-14 business days is pretty typical, but the variability is so stressful when you're waiting on money you desperately need. I'm planning to start calling tomorrow (day 6) based on what others have shared about the 8am strategy and asking for expedited processing due to financial hardship. Has anyone had luck getting through to the appeals department directly instead of general customer service? I'm wondering if they might have more specific info about timeline since they handle the reversals. Fingers crossed for both of us @Liam Brown - this waiting game is brutal!
