When will I get my first TWC payment after submitting payment request?

For most people, the first payment takes 2-3 business days after your payment request IF everything is in order with your claim. Direct deposit is faster than the debit card option. But your very first payment can sometimes take longer - up to 7-10 days - because they're doing final verification checks. Make sure your direct deposit info is correctly entered in the system. You can check payment status on the TWC website or through Tele-Serv (800-558-8321).

dont count on anything!!! my first payment took TWENTY ONE DAYS even though my claim was "approved" - they dont tell you that theres still processing after approval!!! had to call 53 TIMES before someone picked up to explain they needed additional info from my employer. system is BROKEN!

mine came in 4 days first time. direct deposit. this was last month fyi

The timing can vary but here's what you need to know about TWC payment processing: 1. After your first payment request, TWC typically processes it within 2-3 business days IF your claim has no pending issues. 2. Direct deposit is generally 1-2 days faster than the debit card option. 3. The first payment often takes longer because they perform additional verification checks. 4. If you have any unresolved issues on your claim (like employer verification or ID verification), this can delay payment significantly. 5. Make sure your work search logs are complete and accurate, as this can hold up payment if there are issues. I recommend checking your payment status through your TWC online account under "Claim and Payment Status" or calling Tele-Serv at 800-558-8321 and selecting option 2, then option 1.

My sister justs went thru this last month and they told her 7-10 days but it was actually on day 5 the money showed up. But then her second payment was really fast like 2 days.

I spent THREE WEEKS trying to reach TWC about my delayed payment, calling hundreds of times with no luck. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to a TWC agent in about 20 minutes. They have this demo video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh The agent told me my address had a typo which was holding everything up - fixed it immediately and got paid 2 days later. Wish I'd known about it sooner instead of stressing for weeks!

mine took a month lol sorry but true. turns out there was a flag on my account but nobody told me untill i finally got through to an actual person!!

Just checking back - any updates? Did your payment go through yet?

Great to hear your payment came through! For anyone else reading this thread in the future, here's a quick summary of what to expect with TWC payment timing: - First payments typically take 3-7 business days after the initial payment request - Subsequent payments are usually faster (2-3 business days) - Direct deposit is faster than debit card payments - Having a "clean" claim with no issues is key to getting paid quickly - Always keep your contact information updated in the TWC system - Make sure your work search requirements are being met and documented And remember to request payments on your assigned day to avoid further delays!
