TWC 'reviewing eligibility' message appearing on payment request page - should I be worried?

I got the same message last week! I panicked at first too, but then my payment actually came through normally two days later. I think it might be related to their system update they did around the 14th of this month. TWC's website has been acting weird since then - my work search log wouldn't save properly either.

yah i sawed that message 2 its annoying. twc allways does this stuff. just keep requesting like normal probly nothing

This is actually more common than you might think. What's happening is that TWC periodically reviews all active claims to verify continued eligibility - especially when you're approaching your 5th payment request. They check things like: 1. Whether your separation reason still qualifies 2. If you're meeting work search requirements (minimum 3 per week in Texas) 3. Whether any new information about your case has been reported As long as you've been accurately reporting your work search activities and any earnings, you should be fine. The message is automated and doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with your specific claim. Keep requesting payments as scheduled - the worst thing you can do is miss a request period.

I had that message for THREE MONTHS straight and still got paid every two weeks!! TWC systems are a JOKE honestly. Don't stress about it unless you get an actual determination letter or your payment status changes to "denied" or something.

If you're worried about your claim, you should definitely try to contact TWC directly. I spent two weeks trying to get through on their phone lines with no luck - always busy signals or getting disconnected. I finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to a TWC agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh The agent I spoke with confirmed that the review message is part of their normal process and doesn't indicate any specific issues with my claim. She also noted it in my file that I had called about it, which she said might help prevent delays. Worth considering if you're really anxious about your situation!

I got that same message right before they hit me with an overpayment notice claiming I hadn't reported some income correctly. Double-check that all your previous payment requests were 100% accurate. They might be reviewing something specific in your case.

my brother had this to. he got paid anyway lol

Just a heads up - I've been on unemployment three times over the years, and TWC often does these periodic reviews around the 4-6 week mark of your claim. They have automated systems that flag certain patterns for manual review, but in most cases, it's just making sure you're still qualified. The fact that you don't have any messages in your inbox is actually a good sign. When there's a real issue, they typically send a correspondence to your inbox about what needs to be addressed. Keep documenting your work search activities carefully - that's the most common reason for issues at this stage of a claim.

That's great news about your payment going through! This is exactly why I always tell people not to panic when they see these automated messages. TWC's system generates a lot of false alarms, but as long as you're following the rules and reporting accurately, things usually work out fine. For anyone else reading this thread who might encounter the same message - just keep doing what you're supposed to do and don't let the system's confusing interface stress you out too much!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Just saw this message appear on my payment request page for the first time yesterday and immediately started worrying. Reading through all these responses is really reassuring - sounds like it's just part of their routine system checks. I've been super careful about documenting my work searches and haven't had any other income to report, so hopefully mine will go through smoothly like yours did. Thanks for posting about this - it's nice to know I'm not the only one who got anxious seeing that message pop up out of nowhere!

I'm dealing with this exact same situation right now! Just noticed the "reviewing eligibility" message on my payment request page this morning and it definitely made my heart skip a beat. I've been on unemployment for about 6 weeks now and everything has been going smoothly until this message suddenly appeared. Like you, I don't see anything in my inbox or on my homepage indicating there's actually a problem with my claim. After reading through everyone's experiences here, I feel a lot more relieved. It sounds like this is just TWC's way of doing routine checks rather than indicating a specific issue. I've been diligent about my work search requirements and haven't had any unreported income, so I'm hoping my situation will resolve like most of yours did. Still nerve-wracking though, especially when you're depending on these payments to cover basic expenses! Thanks for starting this thread - it's really helpful to see that so many others have gone through the same thing and had positive outcomes. I'll keep requesting my benefits as scheduled and try not to stress too much about the automated message.
