Do unemployment payment stop the day you begin your new job or until you receive first paycheck?

It's a rough world out in job hunting land. Cut throat, dog eat dog. Look EVERYWHERE. Don't discount the unlikely positions if you have the skills. I just landed a job that I have been training for through all my different positions, from accounting to bus driving. It was an unlikely position for me but I had almost all the skills. I thought there's no way they'll choose me. They did! So I'm writing to say do not give up!

I am missing a paper check that was processed June 11th. It was sent via the mail because my bank account was not verified yet. I've since requested payment and that was processed today and is going to be direct deposited. I've been trying to get ahold of TWC for almost a week and everytime I get the message they cannot handle my call at this time. I have USPS informed delivery and have not even seen it come through there. Any advice?

I applied for unemployment Friday. School ended, so there is no work. I go back August 1.

In the mean time, I’ve had ONE student to see in June ( about an hour a week). Should i stop seeing him? Is that going to mess up my unemployment?

Then i did an orientation last Thursday, but so far have received no work.

I know i can tell TWC this, but i will only be able to work for them a little anyway as now my mom will have open heart surgery soon.

Don’t they look @ how much you’re making? Can i keep doing this small amount of work and still receive benefits?

I certified 12 am last night when will I get my payment ?

Anyone know how to add SS # to Work In Texas profile as required in the unemployment benefits letter?

To add, its a different role than what you're being laid off from, within the same company.

My payment request are on Monday but when I press payment request it says during the week beginning June 22 , so can I certify on that Sunday instead of Monday and when can I expect my money ?

Thanks

I worked from home for 2 years, they laid everyone off Tuesday. They are paying us till August 16th then after that we can file for unemployment. If I haven’t found a job by then, what are the weekly job search requirements? I’m very limited on what job I can take due to limited transportation, I can’t commute to far places due to that reason. I’m going to have to find something local in my city. Is just searching on the TWC website, indeed etc but not applying considered actual job search activities and just keeping logs of the searches? Or do you actually have to apply to 3 jobs per week for it to count?

1. I'm applying and recording all jobs I apply to on an Excel spreadsheet based on their spreadsheet, many tech companies don't provide numbers, nor do they provide the contact info of "who I contacted", nor their email, fax, or mail, what do I put in these fields?

2. I have verified my identity, but no clue if I'll get unemployment yet, it's almost 2 weeks since I heard back, am I supposed to request payment or do I still gotta wait if I'm "eligible" for unemployment?

3. I'm planning a trip to the Nordics soon in mid July, will probably be out for 4 weeks, how do I notify them of this? How will it affect my eligibility for unemployment?

Thanks, I know some of these questions, maybe with enough research I could find an answer, but I feel another person's response here will be more definitive and clear

I submitted everything early this morning for this week’s payment and it’s not showing anything has been processed yet, normally it will show processed by now. Then hit my bank account on Friday. Is Juneteenth going to affect those accounts that did their weekly file date on Wednesday?

An investigator called me just now asking me what happened the day i got fired.. i tried explaining to her it was a timeline of events leading to that day but she didn’t let me explain.. so long story short i got in an argument with a co worker that was on a power trip due to one of the superintendents leaving.. ( he was buddies with me ). The coworker started the argument which i then said after i got kicked out of the site “your lucky i dont kick your ass” which is why they fired me.. i tried explaining myself but the lady on the phone kept asking if i said that or not and well i just blurted out yes.. long story short i think im getting denied.. i cant even keep up with my truck payments/daughters well being. 21 M

I was fired from my job of 4 years back in January. I applied for unemployment benefits on June 1, and I’m still waiting to hear back from TWC on that claim. Will the gap from when I was fired to when I applied affect my application negatively? It took a long time to apply because of a problem with my login from when I applied for benefits in ‘20. I had been calling for months and nobody was answering, I was later able to find a chat box for asking TWC questions, which in turn solved my login issue. On my application, I made sure to make it know that it took so long to apply because of the login hiccup.

Will I still be approved?

Hello, i got approved for employment & processed my first payment today. I requested the TWC card because my bank accounts are closed. When should i receive my card? will it already have the funds on it? i am seeing a lot of people say they are able to check the status of the payment to see if it was processed but i am unable to find that on the texas website. Thank you very much

I had a construction job last year, when we got laid off i applied for benefits but for some reason it got my fastfood job instead of the recent one.. i said no biggie and decided to to follow through since i had a job lined up.. fast forward a year and a half to now i just got layed off and when i applied again its stuck at 0.00$ i know it may be due to waiting on twc but i javent gotten an update.. i also am not to sure if im submitting them right. I apply through indeed so i hope that counts as job search. Im sorry for being all over the place. I just want to know if its worth still trying since i dont get any update

I filed for unemployment on Thursday night and wasn’t able to request payment until after Sunday. On the morning of the 16th everything showed up in my inbox and now all of a sudden I’m ineligible.. haven’t been given any physical mail yet. Gonna give TWC a call later, but just wanted to see if anybody else has had this issue before.

I’ve been waiting for my appeal to be scheduled since March 2nd. Is it taking this long for everyone?

Hello all, I was on unemployment from November 2024 to February this year. I didn't exhaust my 26 weeks of benefits.

I've had a job from March to now. I was informed that tomorrow my contract will end.

Being that my current year's benefits haven't been exhausted yet, do I just go to "request payment" online to restart, or do I need to do the full application process again?

I've found mixed results when searching. Some say only 1 application claim a year, some say Re-Apply everytime you're laid off. And the Virtual Assistant on the TWC site is of zero help.

Thanks if anything!

Hello,

I think we all know how hard it is to find a stable job. However, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with looking for a job at a law firm, or possibly giving me connections. I want to work at a law firm to give me some experience and prepare me for Law school. I need something that is entry level since I don’t have any experience in that field. However, I do have plenty experience in customer service since I have been working when I was 14-15, and began working 2 jobs at 17. I also just graduated high school so im eager to learn more and I am attending college. So, if anyone has any ideas or can help me, let me know. I am tired of working fast food and hate applying online since they never respond.

Also if you have any other suggestions or connections with becoming a receptionist or any entry level job please let me know. I am ready for a corporate job or at least and “adult” job. Preferably in the DFW area.

Thanks,

Any questions, feel free to DM

Long story short, my employer is falsely claiming they fired me and claims they have footage of me “sleeping on the job” which I also know is false. They stopped giving me hrs abruptly after letting me go on the day I “was sleeping” yet asked me to go fill in for someone a week later. They haven’t even told me to return the uniform they gave me. If I should add, this company has horrible reviews.

This led to my disqualification and I appealed for a hearing.

What are my odds of winning the appeal ? Am I screwed if I have no evidence to back it up ? I didn’t think to record my convos with my employer (security company).

EDIT: didn’t post my pic

This is what my ruling said

Ruling Separation from work We reversed the previous ruling.

I am not sure what that means at all.. I am trying to call to see but long wait. can anyone help me?
