TWC payment request on Wednesday - when will holiday affect direct deposit timing?

In my experience, requesting payment on Wednesday before Thanksgiving will probably push your direct deposit to Monday or Tuesday after the holiday weekend. TWC has to process requests and then there's the bank processing time too. The TWC offices being closed Thursday and Friday definitely affects the timeline.

mines usaly in ma acount 2 days after i request it but holidays mess it up. last year it took like 4 extra days cuz of thankgiving. banks dont process on holidays + weekend

The official TWC payment schedule shows that payment requests made on Wednesday typically process in 2-3 business days. With Thanksgiving on Thursday and Friday also being observed as a holiday for state offices, plus the weekend, your direct deposit likely won't process until the following Monday at earliest, potentially hitting your account Tuesday or Wednesday. I'd recommend explaining the situation to your landlord ahead of time if you think you'll be cutting it close with rent. Most are understanding if you communicate proactively about a short delay.

The whole system is DESIGNED to make us stress about money!! I requested right before Christmas last year and didn't see money for almost TWO WEEKS!!! The TWC agents don't care that we have bills to pay. Call your bank too - sometimes they can see pending deposits before they actually post to your account.

If you need to reach TWC to check on the status of your payment during the holiday week, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in the same boat last Memorial Day weekend and couldn't get through the busy signals for days. Used their service and got connected to a TWC agent in about 40 minutes instead of struggling for hours with busy signals. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh Regarding your payment - based on my experience, payment requests made Wednesday before Thanksgiving typically hit accounts by Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week. The holiday plus weekend definitely adds delays.

Friendly reminder that your payment request date doesn't change just because of holidays - if Wednesday is your designated request day, make sure you still request on Wednesday even with the holiday. I've seen people miss their request window thinking they should wait until after the holiday, which just causes bigger delays.

my payment always takes forever around holidays :( good luck waiting

To specifically address your question about timing: Payment requests made on Wednesday, November 27, 2025 will likely be processed by TWC on Monday, December 1, 2025. Then your bank typically needs 1-2 business days to post the funds to your account, so expect it around Tuesday-Wednesday (December 2-3). If you need the money specifically for rent due on the 1st, I strongly recommend talking to your landlord now rather than waiting until the last minute. Many landlords have grace periods of 3-5 days for rent payments.

i think u can see when ur payment gets approved on the twc website under claim and payment status even b4 it hits ur bank

Just went through this exact situation last month with the Veterans Day holiday! My payment request was on Wednesday and it took until the following Tuesday to hit my account. The TWC website showed it as "processed" on Monday, but my bank (Chase) didn't post it until Tuesday morning. I'd definitely recommend checking your TWC account status online frequently - once it shows processed, you'll have a better idea of when to expect the actual deposit. Also, if you have a credit union they sometimes post deposits faster than big banks during holiday weeks.

I've been through this a few times with holiday weekends. From my experience, requesting on Wednesday before Thanksgiving usually means your deposit won't hit until Tuesday or Wednesday of the following week. The TWC processing stops Thursday-Friday for the holiday, then you have the weekend, so they don't resume until Monday. Then add 1-2 days for your bank to actually post it. One tip - log into your bank's mobile app or website around Monday evening to check for pending deposits. Sometimes you can see the deposit is coming even before it officially posts to your available balance. Also, if you're really tight on the rent deadline, consider asking your landlord about a payment plan or explaining the situation now rather than waiting until you're actually late.

Just wanted to add my two cents since I went through this exact same stress last year! I requested payment on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and it didn't hit my account until the following Wednesday - so about a week total. The TWC website showed it as "processed" on that Monday, but my bank (Bank of America) took an extra two days to actually post it. Here's what I learned: definitely still make your request on Wednesday like others said, but also call your landlord ASAP to explain the situation. Most landlords would rather know ahead of time than be surprised by a late payment. Also, if you have any friends or family who might be able to spot you for rent temporarily, now's the time to ask rather than waiting until the last minute. The holiday payment delays are super frustrating but unfortunately pretty predictable with TWC. Hang in there - the money will come, it's just the timing that's rough!

I work at a local bank and can give you some insight on the processing side. When TWC sends ACH payments during holiday weeks, they typically batch process them on the first business day after the holiday (Monday in this case). Then banks have 1-2 business days to post ACH credits. So if you request Wednesday before Thanksgiving, expect TWC to process Monday Dec 1st, and your bank to post it Tuesday Dec 2nd or Wednesday Dec 3rd at the latest. Pro tip: if you have direct deposit set up, check your account around 6am on Tuesday - many banks post overnight ACH deposits early in the morning. Also, definitely communicate with your landlord now rather than waiting. Most property managers deal with this exact situation every holiday season and are usually flexible if you're upfront about it.

Been dealing with TWC payments for over a year now and holidays are always a nightmare for timing. Here's what I've learned: Wednesday requests before Thanksgiving typically don't hit accounts until Tuesday/Wednesday the following week. The system is frustrating but predictable once you know the pattern. My advice - set up text alerts with your bank for incoming deposits so you know the moment it hits. Also, TWC's payment status page updates faster than the money actually arrives, so check that Monday to see if it's been processed. And definitely talk to your landlord now - I've found that being proactive about potential delays goes a long way. Most understand that government payments get delayed during holidays. One last tip: if you're really in a bind financially, some local food banks and assistance programs ramp up help during the holidays. Might be worth looking into just in case. Good luck!
