TWC Appeal Overturned - How to Request 6 Weeks Backpay?
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. My unemployment case was under appeal for 6 weeks, and it just got overturned. Now I'm trying to figure out how to request payment for that time. Has anyone been through this before? Any advice on how to navigate this process or what to expect?

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!

Thanks for the advice! Did you have to do anything special to request the back pay, or did they just automatically process it once you got through to someone?

In my case, I had to specifically request it. The rep I spoke to had to manually enter the weeks I was owed. Definitely mention it 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

How long did you have to wait after they picked up the call?

It took about 2 hours total, but I didn't have to sit by the phone. They called me when an agent was on the line.

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!

All in all, it took about 3 months from when I first filed to when I got my backpay. Felt like an eternity 💀

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!

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