State Unemployment Benefits in Texas

The Texas Workforce Commission administers unemployment benefits. When a claimant dies, the death should be reported so payments stop; payments issued for weeks after the date of death are treated as overpayments that must be repaid, and TWC handles any final payment owed for eligible weeks before death.
