TWC Appeal Overturned - How to Request 6 Weeks Backpay?

I found a way to solve requesting backpay after appeal overturned, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX2mUKrj9N8

Congrats on winning your appeal! That's a huge relief, I bet. When I went through something similar, I had to call the unemployment office directly. It took forever to get through, but once I did, they were able to process the back pay pretty quickly. Make sure you have all your documentation ready when you call!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

Make sure you check your online account too! Sometimes they update the info there before they process payments. You might see the weeks you're owed listed as 'pending' or something similar.

Ive been in the same boat, its a nightmare tbh. The system is so broken 😤 I ended up having to file an additional appeal just to get my backpay processed. Hopefully you have better luck!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documentation: appeal decision, original claim info, any correspondence. 2. Log into your online account and check for any new messages or status updates. 3. If there's no update online, you'll need to call. Use the main unemployment number, not the appeals line. 4. When you get through, explain your situation clearly. Use the phrase 'request for backpay due to overturned appeal'. 5. If the rep can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor or claims specialist. 6. Take notes during the call: get the rep's name, ID number, and a call reference number if possible. 7. Follow up with an email summarizing your call and request. This creates a paper trail. 8. If you don't see movement in 5-7 business days, call again. 9. As a last resort, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes expedite these issues. Remember, patience is key. The system is overloaded, but persistence usually pays off. Good luck!

anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel trying to deal with unemployment? 🤔

Pro tip: if you cant get through on the phone, try calling right when they open. I usually have better luck then!

I went through this exact same situation last year! After my appeal was overturned, I had to be pretty proactive about getting my backpay. Here's what worked for me: I called the TWC customer service line first thing Monday morning (like literally at 8:00 AM sharp) and explained that my appeal was successful and I needed my backpay processed. The rep was able to see my case immediately and processed the 6 weeks within about 10 business days. One thing that really helped was having my appeal decision letter ready with the case number. Also, don't be afraid to ask for a supervisor if the first person you talk to seems unsure about the process. Some reps are more experienced with appeal backpay than others. Hang in there - you'll get your money! 💪
