TWC claim newbie: $0 disbursement, next steps, and process walkthrough needed

I found a way to solve unemployment claim payment issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klAdofeB8eE

Welcome to the club, buddy! 🙃 The unemployment system can be a real maze. First things first, did you receive any notices or letters explaining why your payment was $0? Sometimes they send important info through snail mail.

I've been through this rodeo before. Here's a quick rundown: 1. After filing, there's usually a waiting week where you won't get paid. 2. You need to request payment every two weeks, even if you haven't heard back about your claim yet. 3. $0 disbursement could mean a few things: - Your claim is still being processed - There's an issue with your eligibility - You didn't report wages correctly My advice? Keep requesting payments on schedule and try to get in touch with someone at the unemployment office for specifics on your claim.

oof, $0 disbursement suuucks. been there, done that. 😭 the system is so broken, i swear they make it confusing on purpose. hang in there, OP!

Hey, 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

Pro tip: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online interaction. You never know when you'll need to prove you've been trying to resolve issues. It's saved my butt more than once!

have you checked your claim status online? sometimes the website has more up-to-date info than what they send in the mail. might give you a clue about why you got $0

Listen up, newbie. Here's what you need to know: 1. The system is a dumpster fire. Accept this now. 2. Be persistent. Call, email, check online, repeat. 3. Learn the lingo. Know the difference between your base period, benefit year, weekly benefit amount, etc. 4. Appeal EVERYTHING if you think there's been a mistake. 5. Don't give up. It's your money, fight for it. Good luck. You're gonna need it. 👊

hey quick question - when did you file your claim? if it was less than 3 weeks ago, the $0 might just mean they haven't processed it yet. happened to me and I freaked out for nothing lol

Unpopular opinion: sometimes the $0 disbursement is actually correct. Make sure you're eligible and that you reported everything accurately. Double-check your math on wages and dates. It sucks, but not everyone qualifies, even if you think you should.
