TWC Unemployment Benefits Handbook

Paying Taxes On Your Benefits

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) has published a short manual with guidelines so that you know your rights and responsibilities when applying for and receiving unemployment benefits from the State of Texas.I am not a state employee and this is not an official reading of the Unemployment Benefits Handbook (UBH); this is something I am doing to help disseminate this important information at a time when a record number of people are applying for employment benefits.I have broken the book into nineteen easy to digest episodes, plus one introducing me and the concept for the podcast.Please read the handbook yourself to verify what you hear here, and visit the TWC website at https://www.twc.texas.gov/ for the most up-to-date and complete information.Thank you, and best wishes on your job search!
