   I recently ran out of unemployment benefits. When I called the TWC I was told that I did not have any extended benefits. How do I found out about getting extended benefits?

      Kevin,

      The E.U.C(Emergency Unemployment Compensation) remains expired. There is no extension available. Please inquire further with the labor authorities in your state by calling them.

   I was just laid off and the system keeps rejecting me access to sign up for UI. I try calling and all day it says the volume is too high. Who can I contact to reset my access rights to apply.

      Debbie,

      Please visit the official website and explore options. Also let us know the “error message” when you make an application.

   HELP! I have been locked out of the system. I have been trying to call the office and their phones are not being answered. I am two weeks overdue for my last check, because I was not able to enter the system. Then, when it was working, it was “under maintenance.” Now, because I could not report my work seeking efforts, I am locked out!!!! I have been going to school, have had many interviews, and have never stopped looking for work! HELP how do I reach someone?

      If the phone lines are busy, please try the online (internet) claims system for hassle free management of claims. Here is the link – http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/unemployment-benefits-services

   Currently on unemployment. Took job as school bus driver. This is classified as part time job. I just request my current payment and declared earnings as required. I haven’t gotten paid though and won’t until September 15th. Will I be eligible for my unemployment until the first paycheck?

      Angela,

      I am guessing you should be. Please call the Claims Center for clarification.

   When I call the 800-939-6631 # I always get “due to the call volume we can’t answer your call at this time”. I call 20 times a day… If I try to apply for unemployment online it says I must call due to my last work day was July 29 2016 which is more than a year. Should I just put Aug 1 2016 as my last work date online so that I can start my new claim?

      Mike,

      Firstly, UI benefits are only provided to those who’ve had employment and earnings in the last 4-5 calendar quarters. If you’re trying to apply, you can also do so on the official website of the Unemployment Agency.

   I took a contract job and stopped filing for unemployment. Now that this job is ending, can I just start filing for unemployment again as part of my last claim?

      Contract jobs are generally not eligible. Please call the Unemployment Office for further details.

      Yes, it does. You will be able to apply for UI benefits after the payout is over.

   I was an Operations Supervisor at a Staples. I was closing the store and accidently left the key to the store in the Copy and Print Kiosk. The key was recovered by the District Manager that same night, and no harm was done, but the company deemed it a safety violation and terminated me. Am I eligible to receive unemployment benefits?

      Well, this is a sensitive case. Generally, UI benefits are only available to those who lose their job due to involuntary reasons.

      Please call the Unemployment Office in your state to check eligibility and apply accordingly.

    I need to quit my job. It does not pay what I was told it would pay, i was offered a management position and continue to do management type work even though I refused the position because they could not compensate me for the added responsibilities. Last but not least, i am in constant pain from the physical demands. Does unemployment consider these legitimate reasons to quit?

       To an extent, they can be considered.

       You may speak further with the Unemployment Office in your state to confirm eligibility.
