TWC waiting week payment timing - submitted online but request days don't align

The waiting week payment timing depends on when you submitted it relative to your regular request schedule. Since you submitted it outside your normal request day (Monday), it will likely process on a different timeline than your regular payments. In my experience, TWC typically processes these within 3-5 business days of submission, regardless of your regular schedule. It might actually arrive before your next regular payment.

The WHOLE waiting week system is ridiculous!! I had to wait 7 business days for mine and then it was only HALF of my regular benefit amount! No explanation, no warning, just half the money I was expecting. Called TWC 43 TIMES before getting through only to be told "that's just how the waiting week works" 🤬

i got mine in 2 days but my request day is wednesday so maybe thats why it was faster for me good luck hope u get it soon

When I had trouble getting information about my waiting week payment last month, I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to TWC immediately instead of waiting on hold for hours. They have this video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh. The agent I spoke with explained that waiting week payments typically process 3-4 business days after submission, regardless of your regular request day. They were able to confirm exactly when mine would arrive, which really helped with planning my finances.

To clarify about the waiting week payment process: 1. The waiting week is paid after you've received benefits for at least three weeks 2. It's always 50% of your weekly benefit amount (not your full benefit) 3. Processing time is typically 3-5 business days from submission 4. It processes independently from your regular biweekly request schedule 5. You can check its status in your payment summary on the TWC portal Since you submitted it yesterday, you'll likely see the payment hit your account by the end of this week or early next week. The system doesn't always show it as pending in the payment status section until it's actually processed.

when i was on unemployment my waiting wk payment came 4 days after i submited it but this was back in january so maybe its diffrent now my cousin just got his and it took almost a week he said

dont 4get to keep doing ur work searches even while waiting for the waiting week payment! i messed up and missed reporting my work searches one week and they stopped all my payments for like 10 days until i called and fixed it

Just wanted to update everyone - I received my waiting week payment this morning! It took exactly 3 business days from when I submitted it online (submitted Tuesday, received Friday). The amount was indeed 50% of my regular weekly benefit as others mentioned. For anyone else waiting on theirs, it showed up in my payment history section about 12 hours before it actually hit my bank account, so keep checking the TWC portal for updates. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences - it really helped me know what to expect!

I'm still waiting on my waiting week payment too - submitted mine on Thursday so hoping to see it by Tuesday or Wednesday based on everyone's experiences here. It's reassuring to hear that most people are getting theirs within 3-5 business days. I've been checking my TWC portal obsessively but nothing in payment history yet. The 50% amount is disappointing but at least it's something! Has anyone noticed if the payment comes through faster or slower depending on which bank you use?

I'm in a similar situation - submitted my waiting week payment request on Tuesday and still checking the portal constantly! Reading through everyone's experiences here is really reassuring. It sounds like 3-5 business days is pretty standard regardless of your regular request schedule. I was worried since my normal request day is Friday that it might delay things, but it seems like the waiting week processes on its own timeline. The 50% amount is definitely a bummer but better than nothing while job searching. Thanks to everyone sharing their timelines - it really helps with the anxiety of waiting!

I went through this exact same situation last month! Since you submitted outside your regular Monday request day, the waiting week payment will process on its own schedule - usually 3-4 business days regardless of when your normal payments are due. Mine took exactly 4 days and showed up in my payment history about a day before hitting my bank account. Just keep checking the TWC portal daily, and remember it'll only be 50% of your regular weekly benefit amount. The good news is you don't have to wait until your next Monday request to receive it!

I just went through this same situation a few weeks ago! The waiting week payment definitely processes on its own timeline, separate from your regular biweekly request schedule. Even though you normally request on Mondays, submitting the waiting week request yesterday means it should process within 3-5 business days from submission - so you're looking at sometime between today and early next week. In my case, it took 4 days and I could see it listed in my payment summary on the TWC portal about 24 hours before it actually deposited. Just remember it'll be 50% of your weekly benefit amount, not the full amount. Hope this helps with your budgeting!

I went through this exact same situation about 6 weeks ago! The waiting week payment processes completely independently from your regular request schedule, so don't worry about the Monday timing. When I submitted mine on a Thursday (my regular day was Tuesday), it still processed within the standard 3-4 business days. You should see it appear in your payment summary on the TWC portal first, then it'll hit your bank account about 1-2 days later. Since you submitted yesterday, you're probably looking at seeing it by early next week. Just remember it's only 50% of your regular weekly benefit amount, but hey - every bit helps when you're budgeting tight! Keep checking that portal daily, and you'll see the status update before the money actually arrives.

I was in a very similar situation a couple months back! Submitted my waiting week request on a Wednesday when my regular request day was Friday. It processed in exactly 3 business days and showed up in my payment history about 18 hours before hitting my bank account. The key thing to remember is that waiting week payments run on their own processing schedule completely separate from your regular biweekly requests. Since you submitted yesterday, you should see it appear in your TWC portal payment summary by Monday or Tuesday, then in your bank account 1-2 days after that. Keep checking that portal daily - once it shows up there, you'll know the deposit is coming soon. And yes, it'll be 50% of your regular benefit amount as others have mentioned. The timing actually worked out better for me than waiting until my regular request day would have!

I just went through this same situation last month! Your waiting week payment will definitely process on its own timeline, completely separate from your regular Monday request schedule. In my case, I submitted on a Wednesday (my normal day was Monday) and it processed in exactly 4 business days. The payment showed up in my TWC portal payment summary about 20 hours before it actually hit my bank account. Since you submitted yesterday, you should see it appear in your portal by Monday or Tuesday, then deposited 1-2 days after that. Just remember it's only 50% of your weekly benefit amount, not the full amount. The good news is you don't have to wait until your next regular request day - the waiting week processes much faster than that! Keep checking your portal daily and you'll see the status update before the money arrives.

I had almost the exact same situation happen to me about 3 weeks ago! Submitted my waiting week request on a Thursday when my regular request day is Tuesday. The key thing to remember is that waiting week payments process completely independently from your regular biweekly schedule - so don't worry about the Monday timing mismatch. Mine took exactly 3 business days to process and showed up in my payment history section of the TWC portal about 12 hours before it actually deposited into my bank account. Since you submitted yesterday, you should see it appear in your portal by Monday or Tuesday, then hit your account 1-2 days after that. Just keep in mind it will only be 50% of your regular weekly benefit amount. I actually found it helpful to check the portal twice daily during those few days - once in the morning and once in the evening - so I could catch the status update as soon as it appeared. Hope this helps with your budgeting timeline!

I'm currently in the exact same boat - submitted my waiting week request yesterday and my regular request day is also Monday! Reading through everyone's experiences here has been incredibly helpful. It sounds like the consensus is pretty clear that waiting week payments process on their own 3-5 business day timeline, completely separate from our regular request schedules. I'm feeling much more optimistic now knowing I don't have to wait until next Monday. I'll be checking my TWC portal religiously over the next few days based on all the advice here about watching for it to appear in payment history first. The 50% amount is disappointing but expected after reading all these comments. Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines - it really takes the guesswork out of budgeting when you have realistic expectations!

I'm going through this exact same situation right now! Just submitted my waiting week request today and my regular request day is also Monday.

It sounds like the waiting week payment processes completely independently from our regular biweekly schedule, so I won't have to wait until next Monday after all.
