TWC payment request from Sunday still not processed by Wednesday - should I be worried?

same thing happening to me!! requested on sunday night and still says pending. usually hits my account by wednesday 9am at the latest. never had this issue before and i'm on month 4

they do maintnance on the system sometimes. my brother works in IT and says batch processing can get delayed for all kinds of random reasons. give it til tomorrow b4 panicking

This happens occasionally when TWC has a high volume of payment requests or when they're doing system updates. If your payment status is showing as 'pending' (not 'denied' or anything else), then the system has accepted your request and it's in the queue for processing. I'd recommend waiting until Friday before calling. If it hasn't processed by then, you should definitely contact them to make sure there isn't an issue with your claim. Also, double-check that your payment method hasn't expired or changed - sometimes banks can hold deposits longer than usual, especially if there's been any recent account changes.

Mine's late too! Glad I found this thread because I was starting to worry something was wrong with my claim. Usually super reliable with the timing.

I experienced this EXACT same thing last month. Payment request on Sunday, usually paid by Wednesday, but it didn't process until Thursday afternoon that week. When I finally got through to someone at TWC (took forever!!), they said they had a processing backlog due to system maintenance that had been scheduled. The frustrating part was they never notify us about these delays! If you do need to call them, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I wasted 2 days trying to get through on my own with constant busy signals. Then I found this service that gets you on the TWC callback list without having to keep redialing yourself. They have a demo video here: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh But honestly, based on my experience, I bet your payment will process tomorrow. TWC is probably just running behind this week.

The TWC system is GARBAGE!! This happens to me at least once every couple months. Sometimes they blame "banking delays" but it's THEIR system that's the problem. They expect us to submit everything perfectly on time but then they can't even process payments consistently. BEYOND FRUSTRATING when you're counting on that money for bills. The worst part is trying to get answers - you call and call and call and just get busy signals. Then when you finally get through, you're on hold for an hour just to talk to someone who has no real information about the delay. "It's processing" is all they'll tell you. ARGH!

This is actually a common occurrence at the beginning of each quarter (which is where we are now). TWC often runs system updates during these periods, and payment processing can be delayed by 1-2 business days. I recommend checking your correspondence inbox on the TWC portal to see if there's any notice about system maintenance. They sometimes post these notices, though not consistently. If your payment status shows as 'pending' and not 'denied' or 'held,' it almost always means the payment will process, just on a delayed schedule. In my experience working with unemployment claims, as long as all your work search requirements are properly documented (which you mentioned they are), and there haven't been any changes to your claim, this is very likely just a routine processing delay. I would wait until Friday morning. If the payment hasn't processed by then, that's when you should call TWC to inquire. Just make sure you have your work search logs handy when you call, as they may ask you to verify that information.

update! mine just hit my account about 10 minutes ago! check yours

My sister had this happen and it turned out she accidentally clicked something wrong on her work search log and didn't notice. Make sure you didn't accidentally say you refused work or something weird like that. Just a thought!

UPDATE: My payment just processed! It's now showing as "paid" on the portal with today's date. Should be in my account tomorrow morning. Looks like it was just delayed by a day. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance!
