TWC payment timing - processed on the 8th but when will money actually arrive?
So I requested my TWC payment last Sunday, and when I checked my claim status online today it shows 'processed date: 8th' but the money still isn't in my account. Is there some kind of standard timeframe between the processed date and when the money actually hits your account? This is my first time filing for unemployment in Texas and I'm trying to figure out if I should be worried or if this is normal. Bills are due next week and I'm getting kinda anxious about it.

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.

•Thanks! I did sign up for direct deposit. So you're saying I shouldn't panic yet? Lol. Just nervous since I'm cutting it close with bills.

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!!!

•That's not really accurate. TWC processes payments on schedule, but bank processing times vary. Some banks hold deposits for 1-2 business days. It's not TWC making it take longer, it's your bank's policies.

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!

•Oh that's good to know about banks potentially holding it too. I'm with Chase so I wonder if they have a similar policy. Hopefully it'll show up tomorrow!

•If you need to reach TWC quickly, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). It helped me get through to a live agent in under 30 minutes after I'd spent days trying on my own. They have a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. Calling TWC directly is basically impossible these days without some help.

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.
