TWC payment status changed from $0.00 to actual amount - is money coming?

Yes! That's great news! When your payment status changes from $0.00 to an actual amount, it means your payment has been processed and approved. The money should hit your account within 2-3 business days if you chose direct deposit, or 7-10 days if you're getting a debit card. Make sure you keep submitting your payment requests every two weeks though!

OMG thank you!!! That's such a relief. Do you know if the first payment includes everything from the beginning of my claim or just the most recent weeks?

Congrats! That's exactly what you want to see. When those zeros change to actual amounts, TWC has processed your payment. If you chose direct deposit, the money typically arrives in 2-3 business days. If you're getting the debit card, it could take 5-7 days for the first payment since they have to mail the card. \n\nThe amount you see is for the specific payment request periods showing that amount. If you look at your payment request history, you should see which weeks that payment covers. Your first payment might include multiple weeks if you had several payment requests waiting to be processed.

Thank you! Just checked and it looks like it's for the first two weeks. So relieved right now, was starting to think I'd never get approved.

happened to me 2 just hang tight ur good 2 go now

I WOULD NOT CELEBRATE YET!!! I had this happen and then the payment was REVERSED the next day and I had to call TWC about 50 times before getting through to fix it. Their system is SO BROKEN. They told me my claim was flagged for

Oh no, seriously? Now I'm worried again. Did you ever get your money?

Yes but it took ANOTHER TWO WEEKS after calling. The TWC rep said they had a huge backlog of claims to review. Don't even get me started on how many times I called just to get through to a human...

i had the same thing but it got stuck for like 2 more days before i saw money. something about processing time. don't go spending it until it actually hits your account just to be safe.

This is a good sign! When you see actual payment amounts instead of zeros, it means your claim has been processed and approved. However, there's still a processing time before the funds are released:\n\n- Direct deposit: Usually 2-3 business days\n- Debit card: 5-10 business days for first payment (card needs to be mailed)\n\nIf you haven't received payment after those timeframes, call TWC to check on the status. Sometimes there can be bank routing issues or other technical problems that delay the transfer.\n\nAlso, keep requesting payments on your scheduled days even if you haven't received the first payment yet. Missing a payment request can disrupt your claim.

I did select direct deposit when I applied. So hopefully I'll see something by Friday! And yes, I've been religiously doing my payment requests every other Monday morning.

If you're still struggling to reach someone at TWC to confirm when exactly your payment will arrive, try using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in the same boat last month - saw my payment amount change but then it got stuck in processing. I couldn't get through on the phone for days until I used their service. They got me connected to a TWC agent in about 25 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. They have a video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh\n\nThe agent I spoke with was able to tell me exactly when my deposit would hit my account and explain why there was a delay (something about additional verification).

Thanks for the tip! If I don't see the money by Friday I might try that. Getting through to TWC seems impossible these days.

No problem! Yeah, Friday is a reasonable time to wait since you just saw the change today. Hope it comes through smoothly for you!

my bro got his money the next day after seeing numbers but i had to wait like 3 days so it depends i guess

Quick update check: Has your payment arrived yet? Hoping you got some good news!

YES!!! Just checked my account this morning and the money is there! $573 just like it showed on the TWC site. Such a relief after almost 6 weeks of waiting and worrying. Thanks everyone for the help!

Make sure you're doing your work search activities EVERY WEEK while you wait. I know people who got their first payment and then got disqualified later because they weren't keeping up with the work search requirements. Texas requires at least 3 work search activities EACH WEEK, and TWC can ask for proof anytime. Don't mess that up or you'll have to start the whole nightmare process over again!!

Definitely doing that! Been applying to at least 4-5 jobs every week and keeping a detailed log with all the info. Not taking any chances with that part.
