TWC Unemployment Benefits Delay: Weeks of Waiting, No Response - What to Do?

Preach! 🙌 It's like they forget we're real people with bills to pay and families to feed.

Totally agree. It's so frustrating feeling like we're just numbers in a system. Really hope things improve soon.

The lack of accountability is astonishing. We need a more user-friendly approach to handling these claims.

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that. How did you go about contacting them?

Just google your district and "state representative". Most have a contact form on their website. Explain your situation and they usually get back to you pretty quick.

This approach worked for me too. They were able to escalate things and I had a response in a week.

Faxing? What year is it? 😂 But at this point, I'm willing to try anything. Do you know the fax number?

lol i know right? i think its on their website somewhere. worth a shot!

I've heard of a few folks having success with faxing. It might just catch the right person's attention!

I'm so sorry to hear that. 6 weeks is insane. Have you found any resources for emergency assistance?

Thanks for asking. I've been looking into food banks and rent assistance programs. It's not much, but it helps a little.

There are also some online communities that offer mutual aid. Might be worth checking out.

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yep, it really does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. Got through in about 2 hours.

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken.

I know it sucks to pay, but for me it was worth it to finally get my issue resolved. Time is money, ya know?

While Claimyr is helpful for some, it's disappointing that such a tool is needed. The system should be more accessible.

Yeah, I've tried emailing but haven't heard back yet. How long did it take for them to respond to you?

It took about 2 weeks for me to get a response. Not great, but better than nothing I guess. Hang in there!

I had a similar experience. In my case, it was around 10 days. They might be overwhelmed with requests, so patience is key.

I've looked but everything seems fine on my end. No pending issues or requests for additional info. It's so frustrating!

Same here. My account looks perfect but still no $$$. This system is a joke 🤡

I recommend checking back often. Sometimes updates happen overnight without any notification.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed 🤞

This is basically a full-time job just to get our benefits. smh

Persistence is key but it's sad that it takes so much effort. Hopefully things improve soon.

This worked for me once. It seems to depend on who you get on the line.

I've tried that a few times but no luck. Always get the "we're experiencing high call volume" message. 😫

Same. I set an alarm for 7:55am and still couldn't get through. It's like playing the lottery.

It's worth trying different days too. I found mid-week was somewhat easier to get through.

That's a bold move, but media attention can sometimes expedite things. Worth considering.
