TWC payment request submitted at 4:10pm Sunday - Will this delay my benefits?
I'm freaking out a little! I always submit my TWC payment request first thing Sunday morning (like 7am), but today I completely forgot until just now - it's 4:10pm! I submitted it right away, but then saw that message about requests after 6pm potentially causing payment delays. I know I'm under the 6pm cutoff, but I'm still worried since I'm cutting it close. Has anyone submitted their payment request this late in the day before? Will my benefits still process normally for Tuesday deposit, or should I expect a delay? I really can't afford to wait extra days this week since I have rent due.

You're totally fine. The 6pm cutoff is the actual system rule - any requests before then are processed in the same batch. I've submitted mine anywhere from 8am to 5:45pm on Sundays and always get paid on the same schedule (Tuesday direct deposit for me). As long as you're before 6pm, the system doesn't care if it's 6:01am or 5:59pm!

•Phew, that's such a relief! Thanks for the quick response. I was having a mini heart attack thinking I might have to explain to my landlord why I'm paying late.

i usually do mine around 4-5pm every other sunday and its fine. the important thing is that you do it BEFORE 6pm sunday, not after. youll get your money the same time you always do

•Thanks for sharing your experience! That makes me feel better since you regularly request payment around this time.

I had this EXACT same panic moment like 3 weeks ago!! I normally do mine at night but fell asleep watching Netflix and woke up at 5:30pm Sunday FREAKING OUT!!! Still got paid Wednesday morning like normal tho. The TWC system is super strict about the 6pm cutoff but as long as ur before that ur golden!!!

•Omg that must have been even more stressful cutting it that close to 6pm! Glad to hear it worked out and you got your payment on schedule.

Same day doesn't matter, it's the cutoff time that counts. TWC processes all payment requests made before 6pm Sunday as if they were made at the same time. I've submitted at 5:30pm and got paid just the same as when I submit at 8am.

You'll be fine with the payment request itself, but for future reference, it's always best to set calendar reminders for your designated filing day. The TWC system puts all requests made before 6pm into the same processing batch, so requesting at 7am versus 4pm makes no difference to when you'll receive payment. However, if you do ever miss that 6pm deadline, you can still submit late (up to 7 days) but expect about a 2-3 day delay in processing time.

•You're right about setting a reminder - I'm definitely doing that from now on! I got complacent with my Sunday morning routine. Good to know about the late submission option though, just in case.

MY ADVICE: Don't trust TWC's system at all!! Even tho ur technically before the 6pm cutoff I always tell people to submit by NOON on sunday. I've had weird glitches where the system lags or crashes right when everyone's trying to submit before deadline. One time I submitted at 5:45pm and my payment was delayed a whole week! They said my "submission time was recorded as 6:03pm" even tho I KNOW I was before 6! The systems timestamps can be messed up!!! ☠️

•This isn't accurate. The TWC system records submission times based on their server clock, not your local device. If you received a timestamp of 6:03pm, there was likely either network lag or your local clock was off-sync. The TWC system is actually quite reliable with the 6pm cutoff - I've worked with hundreds of claimants and never seen a properly-timed submission get wrongly timestamped.

•Well tell that to the THREE WEEKS of late payments I had to deal with! Maybe the system works for YOU but not everyone has the same experience!!! 🙄

•The system should still tell you your next filing date regardless of when you last requested. Log into your TWC account and check the payment request schedule page. It will show your next designated filing day. If you're still confused, call TWC directly to confirm.

If anyone is struggling to get through to TWC about payment issues, I found a service called Claimyr that actually worked for me after dealing with busy signals for days. It gets you through to a TWC agent without the endless busy signals. There's a demo video at https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh that explains how it works. The website is claimyr.com if you want to check it out. Saved me hours of redial frustration when I had a payment request issue last month.

•Does this actually work? I've been trying to reach TWC for 2 weeks about my missing payment!

•Yeah, it worked for me. Got through to an agent in about 20 minutes instead of days of trying on my own. They connect you directly to the same TWC agents, just bypass the busy signals somehow.

UPDATE: Just got my deposit as normal this morning! Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Going to set multiple alarms for my next payment request day so I don't stress myself out again!
