TWC appeal for separation issues - what does this status mean??

Pending' Resolution just means they'haven t made their final decision yet. After your appeal hearing for separation issues, the hearing officer typically needs 7-14 business days to review all testimony and evidence before issuing a written determination. You should receive their decision in the mail, and it will also eventually show up in your online account. The good news is that if the decision is in your favor, TWC will release any back payments'they ve been holding while your case was underappeal.

i had mine in january took almost 3 weeks to get the decision. sucked waiting but ended up being approved. check ur correspondence inbox everyday thats where mine showed up first before i got the mail

The TWC system is SO frustrating! I had my separation appeal back in November and waited almost a MONTH for the decision! Then when I finally got approved, it took another 2 weeks for them to release my backpay. The whole system seems designed to make people give up. I called literally 47 times trying to get updates and always got busy signals or disconnected.

Important: You need to continue requesting payment every two weeks even while waiting for your appeal decision! Many people miss this step and it causes more problems. If your appeal is approved, you'll only get paid for weeks you properly requested payment for. As for timing, separation issues can take 10-21 days for a decision because the hearing officer has to review all testimony, check employer records, and write up detailed findings of fact to support their decision.

Was it a telephone hearing or in-person? My brother had his appeal last year and the judge actually told him at the end of the call that he was approving the claim but it still took like 10 days to show up in the system.

Just wondering - what kind of separation issue was your appeal about? Misconduct or voluntary quit? I'm asking because I've noticed misconduct appeals seem to take longer than quit-related ones. In my case (voluntary quit for good cause), I got my decision in exactly 8 business days. My friend who had a misconduct appeal waited almost a month.

mine took 12 days back in ferbuary. check ur mail everyday thats how i found out i won my apeal. good luck hope u get ur money!!

I went through a separation appeal last September and it was nerve-wracking! The "Pending Resolution" status is totally normal - it just means the hearing officer is reviewing everything from your hearing before making their final decision. In my experience, the waiting is honestly the hardest part because you're left wondering what's going to happen. Since you had your hearing on Wednesday, I'd expect to hear something by next week at the earliest. Keep checking both your online correspondence and physical mailbox daily. And definitely keep requesting payments every two weeks like others mentioned - that's crucial! Hang in there, the waiting sucks but at least you got your hearing done.

I'm going through the same thing right now! Had my separation appeal hearing last Friday and my status also just shows "Appeal - Pending Resolution." It's so stressful not knowing when you'll hear back, especially when you're counting on that money. From what I've been reading online, it sounds like 7-14 business days is pretty standard, but some people are saying it can take up to 3 weeks depending on how complex the case is. I've been obsessively checking my account multiple times a day even though I know it's not going to change that fast. The waiting game is brutal when you have bills to pay. Hopefully we both hear back soon with good news!

I just went through this exact same process in December and totally understand your anxiety! "Appeal - Pending Resolution" is standard language that shows up after your hearing while the examiner reviews everything. From my experience and what I've seen others report, separation issue appeals typically take 10-15 business days, so you're looking at roughly 2-3 weeks from your Wednesday hearing date. The examiner has to write up their findings of fact and legal conclusions, which takes time especially for misconduct cases. Make sure you keep requesting payments every two weeks even while waiting - this is super important! Also check both your online correspondence inbox AND your physical mailbox daily since the decision can show up in either place first. I know the waiting is torture when rent is due, but hang in there. Most people I've talked to say the hardest part is just the uncertainty of waiting, but once you get that decision letter it moves pretty quickly from there.

I'm in a similar situation - had my separation appeal hearing about 10 days ago and still showing "Appeal - Pending Resolution" with no updates. The waiting is absolutely killing me! What really helped me was setting up a routine to check my correspondence inbox and mailbox at specific times (morning and evening) instead of obsessively checking throughout the day. I also called my local workforce office and they confirmed that separation appeals are taking 10-20 business days right now due to high volume. One thing that gave me some peace of mind was learning that if you win your appeal, TWC will pay out all the back weeks you've been requesting payments for during the waiting period. So definitely keep doing your biweekly requests! I know it's hard but try to stay positive - most people in this community seem to have good outcomes with their appeals, especially when employers can't provide proper documentation of progressive discipline.
