TWC payment timing - processed on the 8th but when will money actually arrive?

After the processed date, it typically takes 2-3 business days for the money to show up in your account. So if your processed date was the 8th, you should see it by the 10th or 11th at the latest, depending on your bank. It also depends on whether you chose direct deposit or the TWC debit card - the card can take an extra day sometimes.

The TWC system is GARBAGE!! My payments always show as "processed" but then take FOREVER to actually appear in my account. Sometimes 4-5 days after the processed date! Don't count on that money until you actually see it - learned that lesson the hard way when I got hit with overdraft fees last month. The whole system is designed to make us suffer!!!

Typically it depends on your payment method. For direct deposit, it's usually 2-3 business days after the processed date. For the TWC debit card, it could be 3-4 business days. Remember that weekends don't count as business days, so if the 8th falls near a weekend, that could add extra time. If you don't receive payment within 5 business days of the processed date, then you should contact TWC.

I had the same issue last month. Mine showed processed on a Tuesday but didn't hit my account until Friday morning. My bank (Wells Fargo) told me they sometimes hold electronic deposits for 2-3 business days even though TWC sent it. So it might be your bank too not just TWC. Hope that helps!

hey if your worried about ur account try calling TWC to check if theres any issues but good luck getting thru lol i spent 3 days trying to reach them last month and kept getting busy signals or disconnected

Update: The money finally hit my account this morning (the 11th)! So it was 3 business days after the processed date. Thanks everyone for your help and keeping me from panicking too much. Now I know what to expect for future payment requests.

this happens to me everytime lol. just when u start to worry the money shows up! glad u got paid!

Glad to hear you got your payment! This is actually pretty typical - I've been on TWC for a few months now and it's almost always 2-3 business days after the processed date. The timing is actually pretty consistent once you get used to it. For future reference, if you ever need to contact TWC about payment issues, try calling right when they open at 8am - that's when you have the best chance of getting through without waiting forever.

Just want to add that if you're ever worried about timing in the future, you can also check your TWC account online - it usually shows the estimated deposit date once it's processed. Also, setting up text or email alerts from your bank can help you know as soon as the deposit hits instead of constantly checking your balance. Glad everything worked out for you!

Just chiming in as someone who's been through this whole process multiple times - the 2-3 business day window after processing is pretty standard, but I've noticed it can vary slightly depending on holidays or if there are any system maintenance issues on TWC's end. One thing that helped me manage the anxiety was setting up a separate "unemployment funds" account so I could better track when payments came in and budget accordingly. Also, if you ever run into issues where a payment seems delayed beyond the normal timeframe, definitely document everything (screenshots of your claim status, dates, etc.) because that info can be helpful if you need to contact TWC later. Glad to see from your update that everything worked out this time!

Great to see this thread helped so many people! As someone who's been dealing with TWC for over a year now, I can confirm that the 2-3 business day timeline is pretty reliable. One additional tip I'd add - if you're ever in a tight spot with bills like you were, some utility companies and landlords are understanding about unemployment payment timing if you explain the situation upfront. I've had success calling them when I know my payment is processed but hasn't hit my account yet. Most of them are familiar with how government assistance timing works and might give you a few extra days without penalties. Also, keeping a small emergency buffer (even $20-50 when possible) really helps with the stress of waiting for those payments to clear!

For anyone else who might be new to this like Jenna was, I just want to emphasize how helpful this community has been! I went through the exact same anxiety when I first started filing - that waiting period between "processed" and actually seeing the money is nerve-wracking when you're depending on it for bills. What I've learned after a few months is that TWC is actually pretty consistent with their timing, it's just that first time you don't know what's normal. Keep requesting your payments on the same day each week, and you'll start to see the pattern. And definitely take everyone's advice about having backup communication with bill collectors if you're cutting it close - most are more understanding than you'd expect if you're upfront about the situation.

This whole thread is so helpful! I'm in a similar situation right now - my payment processed yesterday and I'm anxiously waiting for it to hit my account. Reading everyone's experiences really puts my mind at ease. It's crazy how much stress that waiting period causes when you're already dealing with unemployment. Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines and tips - especially the advice about setting up bank alerts and keeping documentation. This community is a lifesaver for us newcomers trying to figure out how everything works!

As someone who just went through this exact same situation a few weeks ago, I can totally relate to that anxiety! Mine processed on a Wednesday and didn't show up until the following Monday - so it ended up being 3 business days but felt like forever when you're watching every penny. One thing that helped me was downloading my bank's mobile app and turning on push notifications for deposits, so I didn't have to keep manually checking. Also learned the hard way that "processed" just means TWC sent it out, but then it goes through the whole banking system which adds the extra days. The good news is once you go through this a couple times, you'll know exactly what to expect and can plan your bill timing around it. Hang in there - the money will definitely come through!
