TWC payment request during holiday - will it process Thursday or Friday?

TWC offices are indeed closed tomorrow for Veterans Day. Based on my experience, when holidays fall on payment processing days, it usually delays things by one day. So instead of Wednesday, you'll probably see the deposit on Thursday. Just make sure your direct deposit info is set up correctly in the portal. I've been through this rodeo a few times with TWC and holiday delays are pretty standard. Hang in there!

my payment got processed during july 4th weekend it took like 3 extra days fyi

The official timeline is that payment requests made on Monday generally hit accounts by Wednesday (for direct deposit). With the holiday, Thursday is more likely, but I've occasionally seen it stretch to Friday during holiday weeks. It depends partly on your bank too - some banks hold ACH transfers longer than others, especially around holidays. If you're really worried about the exact day, you might need to speak directly with a TWC representative to get confirmation. Unfortunately, their phone lines are notoriously busy. I had luck using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to a TWC agent within about 20 minutes instead of spending days getting busy signals. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. Saved me a ton of stress when I was in a similar situation.

NOBODY at TWC ever answers the phone anyway so good luck finding out! I requested payment on a holiday week back in May and didn't get my money until 5 DAYS LATER!!! They don't care if your bills are due or not. The whole system is broken!!!

To give you the most accurate information: TWC observes federal holidays including Veterans Day. The standard payment timeline is: - Request payment on Monday - TWC processes Tuesday - Funds typically arrive Wednesday via direct deposit With the holiday, the processing will happen on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, pushing your payment to Thursday in most cases. However, as others mentioned, some banks have their own processing times that can add a day. For future reference, it's good practice to request payment as early as possible in your request window to account for any potential delays like holidays. The TWC payment request calendar on their website shows all the upcoming holidays that might affect processing times. I hope this helps clarify when you should expect your payment!

Is this your first payment request ever? If so, sometimes the first one takes a little longer even without a holiday. Mine took 4 business days for the first payment then was consistent after that. Make sure you keep doing your work searches too - I got flagged once for not entering enough work search activities and it delayed everything.

anybody know if twc does direct deposit on weekends?

To answer your original question - yes, you'll almost certainly get paid on Thursday. I've been on unemployment twice in Texas and Veterans Day always delays things by exactly one day. Don't stress too much!

Update: My payment just hit my account this morning (Thursday)! Thanks everyone for your help and advice. For anyone searching this in the future, the one-day delay prediction was exactly right.

This is such a helpful thread! I'm new to the TWC system too and had no idea how holidays affected payment processing.

This thread is incredibly valuable for anyone new to Texas unemployment! I just started my claim process last month and had similar questions about timing. It's really helpful to see real experiences with specific timelines rather than just the general information on the TWC website. The fact that your payment came through exactly when predicted gives me a lot more confidence in planning my own budget around payment schedules. I'll definitely keep this holiday delay pattern in mind for future requests. Thanks for documenting your experience so thoroughly - it's going to help so many people who are in similar situations!

This is exactly the kind of information I needed! I'm about to file my first unemployment claim with TWC and had no idea how holidays would affect payment timing. It's so reassuring to see that the delay was predictable and only one day. I've been worried about navigating all these timing issues, especially since I've never dealt with unemployment benefits before. The fact that everyone's predictions were spot-on gives me confidence that this community really knows the TWC system well. I'm definitely saving this thread for reference when I get to the payment request stage. Thanks for sharing your experience and for everyone who provided such detailed explanations!
