TWC showing DUA benefits ending 11/16 instead of December - anyone else seeing this?

mine says the same thing!! i was thinking it was supposed to go til dec 24 or something. wtf are they doing??

I work for a disaster recovery organization (not TWC) and can provide some insight here. DUA benefits typically run for 26 weeks from the date the disaster was declared, unless extended. The declaration date determines your end date, not when you personally applied. If the disaster was declared in May, that would put the end date around mid-November, which matches what you're seeing. I recommend calling TWC directly to confirm your specific situation. Your determination letter should have included your specific DUA period.

I'm on regular UI not DUA but isn't there usually some kind of extension you can apply for if you're still struggling to find work? Maybe call and see if you qualify for regular unemployment after DUA ends? Don't panic yet!

I BET they're hoping people don't notice the change!!! They ALWAYS try to cut benefits short and hope no one complains. This happened during COVID too when they suddenly cut everyone off. CALL THEM and DEMAND answers!!

If you need to reach TWC about this, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in a similar situation with confusion about my benefit end date and spent days trying to get through on the regular line with no luck. Claimyr 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 explained exactly why my benefits were ending and what other programs I might qualify for afterward. Definitely worth it when you need answers quickly.

Just wanted to add - make sure you're still doing your work search activities even during this last week! I messed up and skipped my work searches during my last week of benefits thinking it didn't matter anymore, and then when I applied for a different program later, it came back to haunt me because they said I hadn't fulfilled all requirements on my previous claim.

my cousin works at twc and she says sometimes the system shows the wrong end date especially with dua claims because they process them differently than regular ui so maybe call and check if its just a system errr

Update: I finally got through to TWC this morning! The agent confirmed that DUA benefits from the May disaster are indeed ending on November 16th for everyone. However, she reviewed my case and said I might qualify for regular unemployment now because I had enough wages in my base period from before the disaster. She helped me start a new application for regular UI. Just wanted to update everyone in case you're in the same boat!

I used Claimyr after trying the regular line for two days with no luck. Got connected to a TWC agent in about 15 minutes! So worth it. Now I just need to wait for my new determination letter to see if I qualify for regular UI.
