TWC payment delay? Check not received today despite 9th process date

Same here!! Process date was the 9th and still no deposit. This is my 3rd payment request and the previous 2 always hit my account Thursday morning by 10am.

Check your correspondence inbox on the TWC portal. Sometimes they hold payments if there's an issue they need to resolve. If nothing's there, it could just be a banking delay - especially if it's falling near a holiday weekend. Mine was also processed on the 9th but I have Chase and it always takes an extra day sometimes.

this happens EVERY FEW MONTHS when TWC has a system update!!!! they never notify anyone and then everyone panics. your money will probably show up tomorrow or Monday. they did this back in January too and I freaked out for nothing

If you need to speak with someone at TWC to confirm your payment status, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in a similar situation last month and couldn't get through on the phones for days. Used their service and got connected to a TWC agent in about 15 minutes who confirmed my payment was just delayed in processing. There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh The agent told me sometimes there are processing delays if there's a high volume of claims or if their system is undergoing updates. As long as your payment status shows 'processed' in the system, you should receive it, just with a slight delay.

Just got my deposit about an hour ago! Check your accounts again - might be coming through now. Apparently there WAS a processing delay according to the TWC rep I finally reached. She said something about a system update that affected direct deposits for claims processed on the 9th, but they should all be completed by end of day.

this reminds me of when i first started unemployment last year and my payments would sometimes come at random times. one time it came at like 11pm on a friday which was super weird! but now its pretty consistent every thursday morning except when theres holidays

For future reference, payment processing dates and actual deposit dates can sometimes vary by 1-3 business days. This is normal, especially during system updates or high-volume periods. If your TWC account shows the payment was processed, it's very rarely an issue with your claim - just a timing delay in the banking system. If you ever go more than 3 business days past the processing date without receiving your deposit, then you should contact TWC directly. Also, always make sure your correspondence inbox is empty of any eligibility questions that might hold up your payments.

I had this exact same issue a few months back and it was nerve-wracking! What I learned is that TWC sometimes batches payments differently during system updates or when there's high claim volume. My direct deposit was delayed by 2 days but eventually came through. One thing that helped me stay informed was signing up for text alerts through my bank - that way I got notified the moment the deposit hit instead of constantly checking my account. Also, if you're really tight on funds, some banks will show pending deposits before they officially clear, so it might be worth calling your bank to see if there's anything pending under TWC or Texas Workforce Commission.

Just wanted to add that I've been on unemployment for about 8 months now and this kind of delay happens maybe 3-4 times a year. Usually it's related to system maintenance or processing backlogs. The longest delay I've experienced was 4 days, but the money always shows up eventually. One tip that helped me manage the stress - I started keeping a small buffer in my checking account specifically for these situations since rent and bills don't wait for TWC delays. Also, if you're banking with a smaller credit union, they sometimes take longer to process ACH transfers compared to major banks. Hang in there - based on everyone's updates it sounds like this batch is already going through!

I've been dealing with TWC payments for over a year now and can confirm that these delays are frustrating but pretty common. What really helped me was setting up account alerts through my bank's mobile app - I get a push notification the second any deposit hits, which saves me from obsessively checking my balance. Also, I learned to screenshot my TWC payment status page showing "processed" just in case I ever need proof for landlords or bill collectors if there's a delay. The system usually catches up within 48 hours, but knowing you have that documentation gives peace of mind. For anyone still waiting, try checking your account around 3am-6am - that's when a lot of overnight ACH transfers typically process.

Just went through this same anxiety yesterday! Mine was also processed on the 9th and I was checking my account every hour like a crazy person. The money finally hit around 2pm today. What I've learned from reading through all these responses is that I need to chill out a bit - seems like delays happen pretty regularly with TWC and it's usually just a system thing, not a problem with our claims. Going to start following their Twitter like someone mentioned and maybe set up those bank alerts so I stop refreshing my account balance obsessively. Glad everyone got their payments sorted out!

I've been receiving TWC benefits for about 6 months now and can definitely relate to the panic when payments don't arrive on schedule! From my experience, these delays seem to happen most often around the middle of the month - not sure if it's related to higher claim volumes or system maintenance cycles. One thing that's helped me is checking the TWC website's "News & Updates" section when I notice a delay, as they sometimes post notices about processing issues there. Also learned the hard way to never schedule automatic bill payments for the same day I expect my TWC deposit - always give myself at least a 2-day buffer now. Sounds like this round of delays is already resolving based on the recent updates, but for anyone still waiting, try not to stress too much. In my experience, if the system shows "processed" the money will come, it's just a matter of when the banking networks catch up.

This whole thread is such a relief to read! I'm in my second month of receiving TWC benefits and this is my first time experiencing a delay. My payment was also processed on the 9th and I was starting to panic thinking I did something wrong with my claim. Reading everyone's experiences really helps - sounds like these delays are just part of dealing with the system. I'm definitely going to start following TWC on Twitter for updates and set up those bank alerts people mentioned. It's amazing how much stress a delayed payment can cause when you're already dealing with unemployment anxiety. Thanks to everyone who shared their timeline and tips - this community is incredibly helpful for newcomers like me who don't know what's normal yet!

I'm really grateful I found this thread! This is only my second TWC payment and when it didn't show up today I was convinced I had messed something up with my claim. My payment was also processed on the 9th and I've been checking my account obsessively all day. Reading everyone's experiences has been such a huge relief - I had no idea these delays were relatively common with the system. I'm definitely going to follow TWC on Twitter for updates and set up bank alerts like people suggested. It's reassuring to see that even folks who've been on unemployment for months still get anxious about delays sometimes. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their experiences and tips - this community support means so much when you're navigating unemployment for the first time!

This thread has been incredibly helpful for someone like me who's still figuring out the TWC system! I've been receiving benefits for about 4 months now and thought I had the timing down pat, but this is my first real delay experience. My payment was also processed on the 9th and when Thursday came and went with no deposit, I started spiraling thinking something was wrong with my claim status. Reading through everyone's stories and timelines has been so reassuring - it's clear these delays happen more frequently than I realized and it's usually just system processing issues rather than individual claim problems. I'm definitely taking all the advice here about setting up bank alerts, following TWC's social media for updates, and keeping that screenshot documentation of payment status. It's amazing how this community comes together to support each other through these stressful situations. For anyone still waiting on their deposit, hopefully it comes through soon based on the pattern others have shared!

This community has been such a blessing to find! I'm about 2 weeks into my first unemployment claim and this delay had me absolutely terrified that I'd somehow messed up my application or missed a requirement. My payment was also processed on the 9th and when it didn't hit my account Thursday morning like expected, I went into full panic mode. Reading through everyone's experiences here has calmed me down so much - I had no clue that system delays were this common with TWC. The advice about following their Twitter account and setting up bank alerts is gold, and I love the tip about screenshotting the "processed" status for documentation. It's incredible how supportive this community is, especially for those of us who are totally new to navigating unemployment benefits. Definitely bookmarking this thread for future reference!

I'm so glad I found this thread! I've been on unemployment for about 5 months now and usually get my payment like clockwork every Thursday, but this week nothing showed up despite my 9th process date. I was starting to get that familiar anxiety spiral thinking something went wrong with my claim. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been such a relief - it's reassuring to know these system delays happen regularly and aren't usually claim-specific issues. I'm definitely going to start following TWC on Twitter for updates and set up those bank alerts people mentioned. It's amazing how this community comes together to support each other through these stressful situations instead of letting people panic alone. For anyone still waiting, it sounds like most deposits are coming through within 1-2 days of the delay based on what others shared. Fingers crossed we all get our payments soon!

I'm about 7 months into receiving TWC benefits and can totally relate to that sinking feeling when your payment doesn't show up on the expected day! My payment was also processed on the 9th and I didn't get my usual Thursday morning deposit either. After reading through this entire thread, I'm feeling so much better knowing this is just another one of those system hiccups that happens periodically. What I've learned over the months is that TWC's payment timing can be pretty unpredictable sometimes, especially around system updates or high-volume periods. I started keeping a small emergency buffer in my checking account specifically for situations like this since bills don't care about TWC delays. Also, I've found that calling my bank directly sometimes gives me more info than just checking the app - they can sometimes see pending ACH transfers before they officially post. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here - this community support makes such a difference when you're dealing with unemployment stress!

This thread has been such a lifesaver! I'm about 8 weeks into my first unemployment claim and when my payment didn't show up today (also processed on the 9th), I immediately thought I must have screwed something up. Reading everyone's experiences has calmed me down so much - I had no idea these system delays were so normal with TWC. I've been that person obsessively refreshing my bank app every 20 minutes all day! Definitely going to follow TWC on Twitter and set up those bank alerts everyone mentioned. It's amazing how supportive this community is - makes dealing with unemployment anxiety so much more manageable when you know other people understand exactly what you're going through. Fingers crossed all our delayed payments come through soon!
