Late TWC payment request - how long until deposit after requesting on Thursday instead of Monday?

When you request payment late, it typically takes 2-3 business days for the deposit to show up, just like a regular payment request. So if you requested Thursday, you might see it Monday or Tuesday, assuming there are no other issues with your claim. TWC doesn't usually penalize for occasional late requests - life happens! Just make sure you don't miss your next request window completely.

i requested late last month and got mine after 2 days so ur probably fine

Late requests are ALWAYS delayed in my experience!! My last payment took 9 DAYS to process when I requested late!!! They SAY it's the same timeline but it's NOT!!! The system puts you at the back of the line and you have to wait for them to process the "exceptions" which they do LAST. Good luck calling them to check on it too - IMPOSSIBLE to get through!!!

I had a similar situation last month when I requested on Wednesday instead of my assigned Monday. The payment showed up in my account Friday morning, so it was actually pretty quick. I think the timing depends partly on your bank too. Some banks process TWC deposits faster than others. Direct deposit to Wells Fargo usually posts for me within 48 hours of requesting, even when I'm a couple days late.

I've had to call TWC about this exact issue before. Late requests typically take the standard 2-3 business days to process, but there can be exceptions. If you're really concerned about the timing, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to a TWC agent directly. They helped me bypass the busy signals when I needed to check on a delayed payment. There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh Just explain to the agent that you had a legitimate reason for the late request (medical emergency with your child) and ask them to confirm when you should expect the deposit.

quick question - this is kinda related - does anyone know if requesting on thursdy instead of monday messes up the day you're supposed to request for next time? like does your request day permanently change or do you still request on monday for the next time?

Just to add some clarity here - requesting late doesn't generally affect the processing time, but it does affect when your next request will be available. Since you requested Thursday instead of Monday, your next request will be available 2 weeks from Thursday, not 2 weeks from Monday. That's something to keep in mind for your budgeting. As for your current payment, if there are no issues with your claim, you should see it within 2-3 business days from Thursday, so likely Monday or Tuesday. If you provided your landlord with proof of unemployment, they might be more understanding about a slight delay.

my sister works at a bank and she says twc payments usually hit accounts overnight so if u requested thursday you'd probably see it friday morning or monday morning since banks dont process on weekends

Update: The payment just hit my account this morning! So it took exactly 2 business days (Thursday request -> Monday deposit). Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Such a relief to have this sorted before rent is due!

Congrats on getting your payment sorted! For anyone else reading this who might be in a similar situation - I've found that having a medical emergency is actually considered a "good cause" exception by TWC. If you ever have documentation from the ER visit, you can submit that if there are any issues with your claim. It's worth keeping those records just in case. Hope your kid is feeling better now!

I'm so glad everything worked out for you and your payment came through on time! This is really helpful information for others who might find themselves in a similar situation. Medical emergencies definitely take priority over everything else, and it sounds like TWC's system handled your late request pretty reasonably. Hope your little one is feeling much better now - ER visits with kids are so stressful. Thanks for updating us on how it turned out!

This is such valuable information for anyone dealing with TWC payment timing! I'm really glad to see that most people had positive experiences with late requests - it gives me hope that the system is more flexible than I initially thought. The medical emergency aspect is especially important to highlight since life really does happen and sometimes unemployment payments are the only thing keeping people afloat. Thanks to everyone who shared their actual timelines and experiences. It's so much more helpful than trying to decipher the official TWC website!

I'm really glad to see how this community comes together to help each other through these stressful TWC situations! As someone who's dealt with similar timing issues, I can definitely relate to that panic when you realize you've missed your regular request day. It's such a relief to see that most people got their payments within the normal 2-3 business day window even when requesting late. The medical emergency angle is really important too - I had no idea TWC considered that "good cause" for late requests. This whole thread is going to be so helpful for anyone else who finds themselves in a similar situation. Thanks everyone for sharing your real experiences instead of just speculation!

Just wanted to add my experience for anyone else who might search this thread later - I had to request late twice due to family emergencies and both times got my payment within 3 business days max. The key thing I learned is to not panic and assume the worst when life gets in the way. TWC's system seems pretty robust for handling these situations, especially when you have a legitimate reason like a medical emergency. Also, if you're ever worried about timing with bills, most utility companies and even some landlords are understanding if you can show proof that you're receiving unemployment benefits and just had a processing delay. Keep those payment confirmations and screenshots of your TWC account status - they can really help when you need to explain a situation to creditors.
