  • Understanding Your Appeal Rights
    2020/06/14
    If TWC sends a letter stating we cannot pay
    benefits, you may appeal that decision by:
    ■ Submitting an online appeal form at
    www.texasworkforce.org/uiappeal
    ■ Mailing or faxing a signed letter to the
    Appeals Department at the address or fax
    number on the letter
    ■ Submitting an appeal in person at your
    nearest Workforce Solutions Office.
    For your appeal to be timely, you must file your
    appeal within 14 calendar days from the date TWC
    mails the letter. The deadline is on the letter.
    If you complete and submit an appeal online, TWC
    must receive it no later than 11:59 p.m. on the
    deadline date.
    If you mail your appeal, it must be postmarked on
    or before the deadline.
    If you fax your appeal, TWC must receive the fax no
    later than 11:59 p.m. on the deadline date. You may
    use the fax machines free of charge at a Workforce
    Solutions office in Texas or workforce office in
    another state. Ask for and keep your confirmation
    page as proof of transmission.
    Your appeal should include:
    ■ your name and Social Security number
    ■ your current address
    ■ the date TWC mailed you the decision
    ■ a copy of the notice, if possible
    ■ any dates you are not able to participate in a hearing
    ■ the reason you are appealing the decision
    You or your employer can appeal any decision on your claim. The first level of the
    appeal process is a telephone hearing with the Appeal Tribunal. Your employer may
    participate in your hearing.

    We will mail you a hearing notice packet with the date and time of your hearing and
    instructions on submitting additional documents you may wish to present. When
    submitting documents, you should mail or fax copies to your employer and TWC as soon
    as possible. It may take six to eight weeks to receive the hearing packet. You must
    receive the hearing notice packet to participate in the appeal and should have it
    available during your appeal.
    Take part in the hearing. The hearing officer makes a decision based entirely on
    evidence given at the hearing. If you cannot participate, call the hearing officer at the
    number listed on the hearing notice or register online before the scheduled hearing
    date.
    You may request accommodations. If you or any of your witnesses do not speak
    English, write on your appeal that you need an interpreter and for what languages. If
    you or your witnesses need special services, such as for hearing-impaired participants,
    request those as well.
    Read the Appeal Tribunal decision. If you disagree with the decision, you may appeal to
    the three-member Commission within 14 calendar days of the mail date on the decision.
    The Commission decides your case after reviewing the Appeal Tribunal decision and
    listening to the recorded hearing.
    If you disagree with the Commission Appeals decision, you may file a Motion for
    Rehearing within 14 calendar days of the mail date on the decision. The Commission
    may grant the motion if you can show all of the following:
    ■ important new information
    ■ why you think the information could change the decision
    ■ a compelling reason why you didn’t present the information earlier
    You may appeal to a civil court between 15 and 28 days after the date TWC mailed the
    Commission Appeal decision. Before appealing to a civil court, you must complete all of
    the appeals through TWC, except the Motion for Rehearing.
    IMPORTANT! If you submit an appeal after the deadline, you must explain in detail why
    you filed the appeal late. If TWC decides not to hear the case because your appeal was
    late, we will mail you a letter explaining the decision. You can also appeal that decision.
    You can appeal online at www.texasworkforce.org/uiappeal.

  • Other Issues That May Affect Your Eligibility . . .
    2020/06/14
    Find more information at www.texasworkforce.org/unemploymentbenefits.
    Foreign Trade
    If you lost your job because of issues related to
    foreign competition, you may be eligible for Trade
    Adjustment Assistance (TAA), which includes job
    retraining, job search and relocation aid, and weekly
    Trade Readjustment Allowance (TRA) benefits.
    Trade-affected workers age 50 or older may be
    eligible for a wage subsidy program.
    Working in Other States
    If you worked in more than one state during your base period, you can combine all of
    your wage credits into a single claim administered by one “paying state.” The paying
    state uses your wage credits from the other states to calculate your benefits. You may
    apply for benefits in only one state where you worked. Register for work search with the
    nearest public workforce office in the state you are located.
    Military Wages
    You can use military wages to qualify for benefits if you left the service honorably and
    completed your first full term of service. If you did not complete your first full term, you
    must have separated early due to an exception specified by Congress. Reservists and
    National Guard members may be eligible if they served at least 180 days continuous
    active service and received a Form DD-214, Report of Separation, when separated. If we
    are unable to use your military wages, you can appeal to your branch of service with a
    Form DD-149, Request for Correction of Military Records.
    Pensions
    We reduce your weekly benefit amounts by any pensions, retirement pay, annuities, or
    other payments you receive from an employer that paid you wages in the base period.
    We do not deduct Social Security or Railroad Retirement income.
    Additional Payment
    You may be eligible if you signed a legal release for an additional payment. You may not
    receive benefits for the weeks you received an additional payment, such as severance
    pay or wages instead of notice of layoff. However, you should apply for benefits. You
    get no money during this period, but you will have served your waiting week.

    School Employees
    If you worked for a school, we cannot use your
    school wages to calculate your benefits if you have
    reasonable assurance of going back to work after a
    break in the academic year. If you lost your job for
    a qualifying reason or do not have reasonable
    assurance of returning to work, we may be able to
    pay you benefits.
    Workers’ Compensation/Disability
    If you receive Workers’ Compensation, you may not be eligible for unemployment
    benefits. TWC makes that decision based on the type of disability payment you receive.
    ■ If you receive Impairment Income Benefits, you may receive unemployment
    benefits. If you receive some kinds of Temporary Income Benefits, Supplement
    Income Benefits, or Lifetime Income Benefits, TWC cannot pay you
    unemployment benefits.
    ■ If you have a permanent disability and receive Social Security Disability
    Insurance (SSDI), you may be eligible for benefits even if you can only work part
    time.
    Federal Employees
    If you are a former federal employee, TWC requests your wage information from your
    federal employer. To ensure prompt benefit payment, TWC asks you to estimate your
    base period wages and provide a Standard Form SF-50, Notice of Personnel Action, or a
    W-2 or pay stub as proof of employment.
    Labor Disputes (Strikes)
    If you stopped working because of a labor dispute, you cannot collect benefits during
    the dispute. This does not apply to a “lock-out.” A disqualification continues until you no
    longer have any part in the labor dispute. It does not matter whether you are a union
    member. It is generally not possible to requalify for benefits by working elsewhere.
    Disaster Aid
    If you lost your job or business as a direct result of a major disaster declared by the
    President of the United States, you may be eligible for Disaster Unemployment
    Assistance (DUA). If you are eligible for regular unemployment benefits, you must
    exhaust them before receiving DUA. When you apply for DUA, we send you a packet of
    DUA rules with forms to complete and return.

  • Protecting Your Privacy

    Protecting Your Privacy
    Your claim is confidential. However, we share some information with
    government agencies and contractors that administer and enforce
    laws, including verifying eligibility for public assistance, supporting law
    enforcement, and other purposes permitted by law.
    We disclose information to entities that manage Social Security,
    Medicaid, nutrition assistance, child support, and other programs.
    We mail a notice of your claim to your last employer and may communicate with other
    former employers.

  • Repaying Overpayments
    2020/04/23
    Repaying Overpayments
    You must repay any overpayments before we can
    pay you benefits. TWC sends a letter explaining why
    you owe us money.
    If you are filing for benefits and are eligible, we apply
    each weekly payment toward reducing your overpayment.
    If you were overpaid benefits in another state and are
    eligible in Texas, we send your benefits to the other state
    until the overpayment is paid. If you are eligible in anothe
    state, we ask that state to recover the money for us.
    If you are not filing for benefits and are unable to
    repay the entire amount, call 512-936-3338 or
    e-mail special.colloverpay@twc.state.tx.us about
    setting up a repayment plan.
    If your overpayment is past due, TWC may intercept all or some of your IRS refund to
    repay the overpayment.
    Learn more about Overpayment of Unemployment Benefits on
    texasworkforce.org/unemploymentbenefits.
    Overpayments stay
    on your record until
    repaid. We cannot
    pay you benefits if
    you owe us money.

  • Staying Eligible For Benefits
    2020/04/23
    Staying Eligible for Benefits
    To remain eligible, you must request payment as scheduled; respond when contacted;
    be able, available, and actively seeking full-time work; and meet your work search
    requirements and keep good records of your work search activities.
    You are no longer eligible when your benefits run out or you return to full-time work.
    Be aware of these additional requirements:
    ■ Special Reemployment Activities
    TWC requires you to participate in special reemployment activities if you are
    likely to run out of benefits before you find work. If selected, your Workforce
    Solutions office sends a letter, and you must participate as instructed.
    ■ Keep a Work Search Log
    K eep a detailed work search log because we may request copies to verify your
    activities at any time during your benefit year. We enclosed a sample log with this
    handbook. Get more copies at ui.texasworkforce.org or make your own, provided it
    contains the same details that are on our log. Review the Unemployment Benefits
    Work Search Guidelines we sent or find them on www.texasworkforce.org/
    unemploymentbenefits. Your unemployment claim may be audited at any time
    so keep your work search records for at least one year after filing your claim.
    ■ Accept Suitable Work
    TWC cannot pay benefits if you refuse to apply for or accept suitable work
    without good cause. We determine suitable work by reviewing:
    − your experience, qualifications, and training
    − working conditions and pay for similar work in your area
    − risks to your health, safety, or morals
    − distance to work from your home and local commuting patterns
    − how long you have been unemployed
    − whether you have considered jobs that pay 75 percent of your normal
    wage by the eighth week of unemployment
