TWC system says I haven't submitted payment request in 3 weeks, but I've never been able to submit one at all. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having a frustrating issue with my unemployment payment requests. I finally got verified after a long delay, but now the system is saying I haven't submitted a payment request in 3 weeks. The thing is, I've never been able to submit my first payment request at all! When I try to submit one now, it won't let me. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to fix it?

Ugh, that sucks! I had a similar issue last year. Have you tried calling the TWC helpline? They might be able to reset your account or something.

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You might have better luck getting through.

Sounds like a glitch in their system. Have you checked your TWC inbox for any messages about this?

I checked my inbox, but there's nothing about this specific issue. Just some old messages about verification.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

I was skeptical at first too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Saved me hours of frustration.

I get it, but for me it was worth it. I was losing my mind trying to get through on my own.

This happened to me too! Here's what worked for me: 1. Log out of your account completely 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies 3. Log back in 4. Go to the payment request page and refresh a few times For some reason, this reset things and I was able to submit my request. Hope it helps!

The TWC system is such a joke. I swear they make it complicated on purpose to discourage people from claiming benefits. 🙄

Preach! 🙌 I've been saying this for years. It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something.

Guys, cmon. They're probably just understaffed and overworked. Cut them some slack.

Have you tried reaching out to your state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through when you're stuck in bureaucratic limbo.

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been trying to sort out my claim for weeks now. This whole system is a mess. Hang in there!

Here's a comprehensive guide to troubleshooting TWC payment request issues: 1. System Glitches: - Try logging in from a different device or browser - Clear your cache and cookies - Use incognito/private browsing mode 2. Account Issues: - Double-check all your personal information is correct - Ensure your claim is still active (not expired or exhausted) - Look for any pending tasks or requests in your TWC inbox 3. Timing Issues: - Make sure you're requesting payment during your designated filing period - Check if you've missed any previous payment requests 4. Technical Support: - Use the TWC chat feature for quicker responses - Call during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening) - Consider using a paid service like Claimyr to get through to an agent 5. Escalation: - Contact your state representative or ombudsman - File a formal complaint if all else fails Remember to document all your attempts to resolve the issue. This can be helpful if you need to appeal or prove you've been actively trying to resolve the problem. Hope this helps, and good luck!
