Unemployment Benefits: How to Apply in Texas (2022 Edition)

In this video you're going to learn exactly how to apply for unemployment benefits in Texas.
I share my computer screen with you in this video and walk you step-by-step through the application process so that you can get your unemployment benefits as quickly as possible.
Here are the steps for filing for unemployment benefits that I cover in the video:
First, you'll learn how to fill out an application for unemployment benefits through the Texas Workforce Commission's (TWC) website. In this step of your application, you will provide the TWC with information about yourself, including your:
name and contact information,
social security number,
military service,
Texas Driver's License or ID number,
income received while unemployed,
citizenship information or alien registration number (if not a U.S. citizen),
education,
labor union information,
pension information, and
retirement benefits information.
You will also be asked to provide the TWC with information about your last employer, including:
your first and last date of employment,
their name,
their address,
your earnings,
your work hours,
your pay rate,
your pay period,
the reason you are no longer working for them, and
the normal wage for your occupation.
Next, you’ll learn how to request a benefits payment through the TWC’s website. I’ll show you how to select a payment option, confirm your mailing address with the TWC, and report your work and other income during your payment request period.
We’ll also walk through the TWC’s questions about your ability and availability to work, work-search contacts, and certification. To learn more about whether you qualify for unemployment benefits in Texas, check out my video on that topic here: • Unemployment Benefits ...
Finally, I will show you how to register for WorkinTexas.com. In this step, I’ll show you how to create a resume on WorkinTexas.com. Additionally, we’ll answer various questions on this website that will help you find a job that’s right for you.
According to the TWC, you will typically receive your first unemployment benefits payment approximately 3 weeks after you complete these three steps. By the end of this video, you will know exactly what you will need to do to get your benefits payment as soon as possible.

Thank so much you help so much

[@jimw7550]

Good information.

[@LaurenChandler-mr5tp]

Thank you for going through this with us, it was extremely helpful. I applied for unemployment on 11/20/22, today is 12/20/22 and I have filed twice for my payment and still have not heard anything back as to weather or not i wll be qualified for unemployment or not. They sent me the papers telling me when to file and how much i could potentially get every 2 weeks, but have not sent me an answer yet as to if i am going to get benefits. But your video was extremely helpful and i really appreciate you going over this and also your sister for allowing you to share this with us. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

I tried to do the second step but when I click on the "payment request" it says 'It is too early to file your Payment Request. You are scheduled to file your next Payment Request on your scheduled filing day,TUESDAY, during the week beginning September 06, 2020.' does this mean I will have access to the payment request on September 6th?

I think I made an error... I kept asking for my pay range, and when I put it in it would say incorrect so I put 7.25 but that was less than what I was making

I have worked for the same company for 4 years. But, was a 1099 contractor until August of this year, when I transitioned to a W2. I will be laid off at the end of this month. Am I eligible for Unemployment benefits?

[@Hereathome7]

Are the restrictions lifted from having to look for a job? Or are ppl still not having to look?

[@jeffnoble1218]

It wouldn't let me submit and said we can best help you by phone. I got fired today. Do I have to wait until tomorrow to file?

[@debradianeparr]

I have to say this made me even more confused. Do all the steps need to be completed at once? If I don't have a resume now I need to create it before I can upload, but even if one uploads this you have to complete it on their form also. This makes no sense to me so why even upload your own? I am an intelligent woman but this moved so quickly and you just kept saying, "... and then click next and complete what is on the page." I thought you'd spend more time on certain areas. I have been laid off for a month now and because their instructions make no sense to me I have not applied for unemployment. And, in reading the comments below, Texas cannot even submit online... Thank you.
