The State of Texas ended its participation in the federal pandemic unemployment benefit programs effective June 26, 2021.
As of December 1, 2021, TWC began identifying Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) overpayments and notifying claimants of the additional overpayment amount. For more information, see FPUC Overpayments.
If you were receiving PUA benefits, you are still required to provide proof of employment, self-employment, or prospective employment or self-employment. When TWC requests proof of employment, you must provide the proof by the deadline indicated on the notice. This requirement remains in effect, though the PUA program has ended. If you fail to provide evidence, you may have to repay all PUA benefits you received from December 27, 2020, or your initial PUA claim date.
For more information, see Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)
