What does it mean if your employer is not chargeable for benefits?
What that means is the last employment is still not in your base period. Even though the “separation from the last employment” ultimately decides whether we are entitled to benefits, the wages from that last employment may not yet be showing up in our base period ..
How long does it take TWC to review a claim?
It takes about four weeks from the date you apply for benefits to know if you are eligible for benefits. We use this time to gather information on your past wages, job separation, and general eligibility.
