TWC payment delay after Monday request - still not received

The TWC payment system actually has been running behind this week. My payment request was processed on Sunday, and I just got my deposit this morning (Thursday). That's 2 days later than usual for me. I saw on the TWC Facebook page they're having some technical issues with their payment processing system that should be resolved by the end of the week.

yep mine is late 2. usually hits tuesday but nothing yet. super annoying bc i got bills due tmrw!!

I've been on TX unemployment for 4 months now and let me tell you, this happens at least once every 6-8 weeks. The system goes down or they have a "processing delay" and everyone panics. THEY NEVER ANNOUNCE IT OFFICIALLY until people start flooding their phone lines!! So frustrating. Last time this happened, I waited 9 days for a payment that should have taken 2-3 days. And good luck trying to reach anyone by phone to ask about it - you'll just get a busy signal all day long.

If your payment status shows as "processed" in the system, that's actually a good sign. It means the TWC has approved the payment and it's just waiting to be sent to your bank. When there's a real problem with your claim, you'll usually see a different status like "pending" or "under investigation" or sometimes nothing at all for that week. The TWC batch processing system runs Monday-Friday, so payments requested on Monday normally hit accounts Tuesday or Wednesday. But when they have system delays, it can take until Friday or even roll over to the following week. As long as your payment status shows "processed" you should eventually receive it without having to call in.

After dealing with payment delays last month, I found Claimyr (claimyr.com) and it saved me so much frustration. You can actually get through to a TWC agent instead of hearing busy signals all day. I was skeptical at first but their system actually works - you can see a demo at https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh to see how it works. If your payment doesn't show up by tomorrow, it might be worth using to find out exactly what's going on rather than just waiting and hoping. When I had my delayed payment issue, I found out there was a simple flag on my account that the agent cleared up in 5 minutes once I actually reached someone.

I got my payment request two days late this week. Ijust thought it was my bank but i guess its a TWC thing. So whats the proper term anyway are we supposed to call it "payment request" or "filing a weekly claim"? I get confused by all these different terms they use lol

Anyone else notice their payment amount was slightly different this week? I finally got mine today and it was $12 less than usual. No explanation why.

Just a heads up to everyone - my payment finally hit my account this morning. It looks like they're working through the backlog. Hopefully everyone else will receive theirs soon too!
