Starting new job Tuesday - How to properly report or stop TWC payment requests?

Congrats on the new job! When I found work last year, I just reported my earnings on my next payment request and answered 'yes' to the question about returning to work. Make sure you report ALL your earnings for the week, even if you haven't been paid yet. The TWC system will automatically adjust your benefits or stop them if you're earning too much. Don't just stop requesting without telling them or they might think you're avoiding work search requirements.

just report ur earnings when u request payment. if u make more than ur weekly benefit amount + $30 u wont get anything anyway. congrats on the job btw

You definitely need to keep requesting payments until you've reported your return to work! Don't just stop requesting or TWC might flag your account. When you do your payment request, you'll answer YES to the question asking if you've returned to work full-time, and provide your start date. The system will then close your claim automatically. If you just stop requesting without properly reporting, you could potentially have issues if you ever need unemployment again in the future. It's also important to report any partial week you worked - even if it's just one day before your payment request.

I did this ALL WRONG when I got hired in February! I just stopped requesting payments and didn't tell anyone at TWC. Then 3 months later I got a letter saying I needed to report why I stopped claiming!!! Had to call them and fix it. DONT BE LIKE ME!!!! Make sure you do the payment request and tell them you're working!!!!

When you do your payment request after starting work, you'll need to report the exact date you started working and your employer information. The system will ask you specific questions during the request process - just answer honestly and you'll be fine. It might seem scary but it's actually pretty simple! I've been through this process twice now, and as long as you don't try to claim benefits for weeks you're working full-time, there's no problem. The TWC system is designed to handle people finding jobs - that's the goal of unemployment after all!

When I started my new job last month I had such a hard time getting through to TWC to make sure I was doing things right. Kept getting busy signals for days! I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got through to a rep in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. The agent walked me through exactly what I needed to do for my payment request when reporting my new job. Totally worth it for the peace of mind!

MAKE SURE YOU TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF EVERYTHING!!!! I didn't have proof when they messed up my claim and it was a NIGHTMARE!!!!

I notice some confusion in the replies, so let me clarify the official process: 1. Continue requesting payments on your regular schedule 2. When you do your first payment request after starting work, answer YES to the question about returning to work 3. Provide your start date and employer information when prompted 4. Report all earnings for any days worked (even if not paid yet) 5. The TWC system will automatically determine if you're eligible for partial benefits 6. Your claim will be automatically closed if you report full-time work If your payment request period includes days before and after your start date, you may receive partial benefits for the days before you started working. The system calculates this automatically based on the information you provide. Congratulations on your new job!

Just make sure you report your work and earnings during your next scheduled payment request. It's really that simple. The system will guide you through the rest of the process. Congrats on the new job!
