Was able to successfully get unemployment, here was the process.

i wanted to write this up because this was all new to me when i started and it was really stressful. I got my first check very quickly and I’m sure that’s due to the fact there were no complications with my application. This was the process:

1. Made an account on the twc site

2. Two days later logged in to make sure my application was processed

3. I got three email correspondence, one with the claim amount that i was approved for, and a letter saying if i was able to get unemployment or not and if my employer would be paying (they are not).

4. Requested payment the first day i could

5. March 30th my payment was processed

6. Although i have direct deposit, my first check was mailed to me.

7. The next day i got an email correspondence saying “you were mailed documents that can’t be emailed” – this was my check. When i would go to the payment page it said “amount deposited” even though it was a check.

• i do know some people who had the first payment direct deposited, from what i understand the twc takes 8 days to verify your identity and if you request payment before then, it will be mailed to you instead of direct deposit.

1. I had the check by April 4th

That’s it! Let me know if i skipped anything and if anyone has a question I’m more than happy to help :)!
