How long for TWC ReliaCard to arrive in mail? Mine's been 10 days now
Hey everyone, I just got approved for TWC unemployment benefits last week and I'm waiting for my ReliaCard to show up in the mail. It's been 10 days already and nothing yet. Starting to get worried since I need to pay rent soon. The payment status shows 'paid' in my account but obviously I can't access the money without the card. Anyone know the typical timeline for these cards to arrive? Should I be concerned yet or keep waiting? Also, if it doesn't come soon, is there any way to expedite or get a replacement? Really stressing about this!

AuthorThanks for letting me know! Did yours eventually just show up or did you have to call someone?

ReliaCard delivery typically takes 10-14 business days, not regular days. So weekends don't count, which means you might be only at day 7-8 of business days. They ship from US Bank in Ohio, so distance is also a factor. If it hasn't arrived by day 15 (business days), then you should call US Bank at 1-800-657-6343 to request a replacement. Don't call TWC about this - they don't handle the cards directly. Also, make sure your mailing address is exactly correct on your TWC account, as any discrepancy will cause delivery issues.

WRONG!! Mine took 21 days back in January! Complete disaster. TWC said it was mailed but US Bank kept saying it wasn't in their system yet. They're BOTH incompetent!

AuthorThank you for the detailed info! I double-checked my address in the TWC portal and it's correct. I guess I need to be more patient, but it's hard when bills are due.

While ur waiting for the card, u can set up direct deposit for future payments. Go to the TWC portal, click on payment options, and enter ur bank info. Won't help with the current payment stuck on the ReliaCard, but at least future ones will go straight to ur account. That's what I did after waiting FOREVER for my card. Card still came eventually tho.

I had the same issue last month. After two weeks of waiting, I needed to contact TWC to check the status but couldn't get through on the phone. After dozens of failed calls, I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to connect with a TWC representative. They have this video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. The TWC agent confirmed my ReliaCard had been mailed but gave me the direct number for US Bank's ReliaCard department to check the status. Turns out it was sent to my old address even though my TWC profile had the correct one. They expedited a new card that arrived in 3 business days. If you're worried, it's worth confirming everything is in order.

AuthorThank you so much for this info! If it doesn't arrive by next Wednesday I'm definitely going to use that service to get through to TWC. I had no idea they could even expedite these cards!

I used claimyr too when i couldnt get thru to twc about my identity verification issue. didnt even know about this service until someone on this forum mentioned it. weird that the government makes it so hard to talk to a human being that people have to use outside services just to get basic help.

Just to clarify some information: US Bank can expedite a replacement ReliaCard for a fee (usually around $15), but they will only do this after confirming your original card was actually issued and sent. They require a waiting period of at least 10 business days from the date of issue before they'll process a replacement. When you call them, have your TWC claim ID and personal identification information ready. Also, be prepared to set up a PIN for your new card during that call.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed two weeks ago, got approved, and still no card. Reading through all these responses is really helpful - I had no idea about the business days vs regular days thing. I've been counting weekends this whole time and getting more stressed each day. Going to set up direct deposit today like Jasmine suggested so I don't have to deal with this waiting game again. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!
