Message from the UI Director]

The UI Director's message was shared this morning, so I'll share it below as soon as possible.

The UI office will email each applicant who is eligible for a second Initial Application after they have reviewed their account.

If the applicant is not eligible for the second Initial Application, he/she will be automatically switched to the PEUC extension until September.

They did not comment on what criteria makes someone "eligible" or "ineligible". It is my personal guess, but I feel that if the WBA drops considerably in the "Second Initial Application Course", the course will be "automatically switched to the PEUC extension until September" in order to prevent more people from falling into hardship in Hawaii due to a lower WBA.

We strongly recommend that those of you receiving the PEUC program be sure to check your junk mail folders after March 14.

Tax man, who has been helping us in the "Exchange Plaza" for a long time, shared something very important in the "Information Board" topic "How to Process Tax Returns for Unemployment Insurance Beneficiaries". Please read it.

Those who have already completed the tax return process through their own accountant should consult their accountant.

If you are doing your own tax return, please visit the IRS website for the latest information.

[Good news]

The Unemployment Insurance Help team contacted us and we share it below.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (＝ ARPA) Act, now on the books in Congress and signed by President Biden, includes relief for those who lose their health insurance after being completely laid off from their jobs and their dependents by providing free COBRA health insurance from April 1 to September COBRA health insurance from April 1 through September. Be sure to read this article as it explains the rules.
↓
https://www.natlawreview.com/article/covid-19-stimulus-bill-includes-six-months-free-cobra-health-coverage

Corona vaccine shots are always checked in advance to see if you have health insurance （ This is so that if there are side effects, you don't have to go to the hospital without health insurance ）.

It is said that Hawaii will not fully reopen until this fall at the earliest. Until then, you never know when you might get sick or be involved in an accident.

As those of you who have been in the U.S. for a long time know, if you are hospitalized without health insurance, you will be charged so much that you could buy a car or house. Those who have lost their health insurance due to a complete layoff should be proactive in obtaining COBRA health insurance through this relief.

For information on how to apply, contact the human resources department of your former employer where you had health insurance before you were completely laid off. If the human resources department is not yet aware of this relief, you may want to contact the Hawaii State Department of Health.

As previously announced, my own UI account will be expired in March, so I will not be able to give you accurate advice while opening the UI system, which is updated daily with new versions.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. Therefore, I am very sorry, but please refrain from asking questions to me in topical or personal emails after March 16. And please direct your questions to the call center （ The call center will call our interpreting staff if you request Japanese ） .

Please understand that even if you write a question to me on a topical question, I will not be able to answer it and will have to go through it.

If you have trouble connecting to the call center, you can ask other people on this topic, but if your question is complex and difficult, it is more likely that other people will not be able to give you advice and will have to go through you. Also, duplicate questions without reading all the topics in the exchange square may also be passed through.

In any case, please contact the call center patiently and try your best. I think there are also means to ask for help from the Ige State Governor's office, the legislator in your area of residence, and Legal Aid.

Thank you for your understanding.

I recommend the "Hawaii Unempoyment Updates&Group" group, which is the largest of several Facebook groups in English. It is very helpful. If you are not good at English, please help each other with your family, colleagues, and friends.

However, since there are many different people registered in this group, not all advice is correct and very occasionally misleading advice is written. When reading the advice, we strongly recommend that you double check where the information is coming from. Is it a "call center," an "Examiner," an "Adjuster," or is it "word of mouth" with little credibility? Carefully determine if the information is truly accurate.

This "Hawaii Unempoyment Updates&Updates Group" group is forbidding any blog, sales, religious or other advertising or solicitation. We have a strict rule that any such postings will be immediately kicked out of the group. We ask that those of you who have a purpose other than unemployment insurance refrain from such postings.

[Future on this Topic]
*Some overlap with #1 on this Topic.

The biggest fear with Hawaii Unemployment Insurance is that if an applicant makes an entry or filing error on the UI system, the PENDING process will be prolonged.

In order to avoid misunderstandings in the question and answer session, we would like to ask "What should I do ？? ？ Is there anyone else in the same situation ？?

Please do not share information by word of mouth from colleagues or friends as this is not accurate. Also, if you are sharing a media news article, please be sure to include a link to the article.

Once again, please help each other with "aloha" and "mahalo" and have good manners in this topic.

After March 16, I will no longer be able to give advice in the Q&A session, and I will only post in this topic when I receive a share from the Unemployment Insurance Help team through personal contact. Please note that I will be posting less frequently.

Therefore, please voluntarily check for updates on press releases from the UI office, official announcements on Twitter, media news, congressional news, and information shared on local message boards by helping family, colleagues, and friends.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.

[Call Center]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has shared this information with us.

- Regarding the current call center phone system -
If you pronounce "One" and get through to the call center but are hung up or automatically sent to voicemail due to High Volume The call center phone system automatically prints out the phone number of the applicant who called and the UI office staff will call back.

However, my personal guess is that the UI office must be extremely busy with the Overpayment and PEUC September extension programs, so I don't think they have enough time to call back in the above process at this time. I don't think you should expect too much. The call center is inundated with 9,000 calls every hour, or 200,000 calls per day. You may have to keep calling patiently.

- AT&T and Sprint -
An announcement from the UI office said, "Those who have a contract with AT&T or Sprint phone companies may call Toll Free phone numbers, not local phone numbers beginning with 808".

- About Glitch -
If your supply is stopped due to a Glitch in the UI system on the UI office side, the call center will help you immediately. If you can't get through to the call center, you can try emailing Language Access.

- Regarding the announcement from the UI Director -
As Anne, the UI Director, announced recently, "I was advised by the call center staff to wait for a call from an Examiner or Adjuster. Please be sure to take any phone number you are advised by the call center staff to wait for a call from an Examiner or Adjuster. Please make sure to remove all spam blocking settings. It is always a good idea to set up an answering machine as well.

- About Overpayment -
As I have shared in this exchange forum before, when I call the call center repeatedly to urge them to help me in cases where overpayment is the cause, each time I get a message that "UI I heard that if you repeatedly call the call center to request an Overpayment, each time you call the call center, a new process of "UI office contacting the employer and reconfirming the request" is added, which increases the Overpayment processing time even more. The only thing to do may be to refrain from calling the call center repeatedly for prompts and wait for them to call back.

However, if the Benefit Year End deadline is approaching, it would be better to inform the call center staff.

Dear sanset

Thank you for all your help.
PEUC2 is ending with 2 weeks left, but when I logged into my UI account today, I found that 25 weeks had been added to my balance, which was 2 weeks left until last week. 25 weeks would be up to the first week of September.
However, the BENEFIT YEAR ENDS are still this month.
We will let you know if the BENEFIT YEAR ENDS will be updated as well, and we will let you know here if there is any progress.

Mahalo,

Thanks for sharing.

According to UI Director Anne in the recent Honolulu Star Advertiser Facebook video interview, it means "eligible for PEUC September extension" when the new balance is automatically added until September.

If the Benefit Year End expiration date is not automatically extended more than a week after the Benefit Year End expires, contact the call center and they will fix the system. So, you should wait and see how it goes for one week after the Benefit Year End expiration.

Since the September extension was automatically added, I think it is almost safe.


Ladies and gentlemen,

Anne says that she has already finished adding the balance for the September extension. If you do not see the new balance added, please check your email （ ） including your spam folder.

If the September extension has not been automatically added to your balance and you have not even received an email, please contact the call center.

[PEUC Program]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has contacted me to share （ 1 ） through （ 8 ）. Some of this is duplicated from what I shared recently.

The following explanation is for the PEUC program; it is unclear at this time if the same rules will apply to original UI who have been receiving the program for nearly a year for shorter hours or other reasons.

（ 1 ） If the difference between the "current WBA" and the "WBA on the second Initial Application" is $25 or more, you can choose to maintain your current WBA. → For example, if the current WBA is $500 and the WBA on the 2nd Application is $480, the difference will be $20 and you will be "eligible for 2nd Application".

（ 2 ） If you receive an email around the time the Benefit Year End expires, please follow the guidance in the email. Don't forget to check your spam folder as well.

（ 3 ） If a new balance for the September extension is automatically added, it means that the PEUC September extension has been extended. → That does not necessarily mean that the Benefit Year End deadline will be extended at the same time. Please read （ 4 ） , （ 5 ） , （ 6 ） below for more information.

（ 4 ） If your Benefit Year End expires earlier than March 14, please "Check Your Email" or "Check the UI System to see if your Benefit Year End expiration date was automatically extended. Please do so.

（ 5 ） If Benefit Year End expires after March 14, please "Check Email" or "Check UI System to see if Benefit Year End expired automatically extended".

（ 6 ） If the Benefit Year End expiration date is automatically extended, it will be extended for one quarter, which is three months. At the end of the first quarter, the UI office will again review the account and decide whether to "automatically extend the Benefit Year End for another three months" or "instruct the applicant to submit a second Initial Application".

（ 7 ） If your Benefit Year End has not been automatically extended and you have not received an email even though you have newly added the balance for the September extension, do not rush to contact the call center. If your Benefit Year End has not been automatically extended and you have not received an email, please do not contact the call center.

（ 8 ） If you have no PEUC balance and no new balance has been added and you have not even received an email, please contact the call center.

At first glance, this may seem like a harrowing experience every 3 months, but as mentioned in （ 1 ） the "$25 difference rule" makes it unlikely that you will have a troubling development where your WBA is less than half.

However, as you all know, there have been many glitches in the UI system in the past, and you should keep an eye on the UI system yourself to see if you are caught in a glitch. If there is a possibility of a glitch, please contact the call center and ask them to fix the system.

（ 1 ） to （ 8 ） were announced by Anne, the UI director, in the interview video and summarized by the unemployment insurance help team. Those with questions should contact the call center.

[Last Payment Date]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has contacted us to share.

According to the PEUC September extension approval letter, the deadline for the PEUC September extension program is "September 6". The last payment deadline will be "September 4".

If you have not received the approval letter in the mail, I don't think you need to worry too much because there were many people who received their payments for the PEUC 13 week program and PEUC 11 week program without receiving the approval letter after all.

The locos seem to be expecting that the PEUC program and the $300 per week FPUC will be gone for unemployment insurance after September, and that the WBA will drop by less than half after the second Initial Application is submitted. Since the corona vaccine effect is being seen in the U.S., it is very likely that the locals are right in their predictions.

Also, job postings have spiked, so the Unemployment Insurance Help Team is urging people to "find a job by September" and locals are actively helping each other by exchanging job postings.

Hawaii has already started accepting Mainland tourists, but the acceptance of Japanese tourists will depend on the Corona situation in Japan. We recommend that each individual prepare in advance their best strategy after September, when the PEUC program ends, in case the acceptance of Japanese tourists does not resume in the fall.

Your week-ending date is not within a claim benefit year.

There may be a glitch or a delay in the UI system procedures on the part of the UI office.

If the Benefit Year End expiration date is not automatically extended and you are still unable to file weekly more than one week after the Benefit Year End expiration date, please have the call center correct the problem.

Hello sunset and everyone

Hello. I am always looking at your site.

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable information.

As of now, my Benefit Year End is 3/28

Available Balance was changed yesterday and increased significantly.

I don't want to disturb those who are still waiting months to receive their benefits to get their calls connected.

If you know the answer here, you don't have to call UI.

Would it be wise to wait for the automatic switchover without calling

before 3/28 to avoid phone congestion ？

＃ sunset at 28 [Benefit Year End expired more than a week ago...]

I just wanted to write to reconfirm if I need to call in advance.

Nick,

As I shared in this Topic, Anne had stated "Try waiting 'a week' after the Benefit Year End expiration date." in Nick's case, he didn't get an email until April 5, the end of the week, counting. If the Benefit Year End expiration date is not automatically extended, the process is to call the call center on that date.

Dear Sunset&Ladies and gentlemen

Hello ！ I would like to share my situation. Originally, the due date was 3/14/21. A few days ago, the due date was first extended to 6/30/2021 only. However, the balance amount remained the same. Then today, the balance amount was also increased. As you can see, there seems to be a pattern that they are not simultaneous. I have not received any email or phone call.
I thought that this is applicable to the case of "6\" which Sunset taught us in ＃ 21.

I think it would be a good idea not to rush to call the call center after the Benefit Year End has passed, but to check your email for a "week" after it has passed to see if there are any changes in the UI system.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let me remind you again.

If you have any questions, please read #12 of this Topic and ask the call center directly first, instead of asking me via Topic or email.

If you can't get through to the call center, you can ask in this Topic, "I am in this situation right now. ？ Is there anyone else in the same situation ？?

Also, if you are not sure about the advice you received from the call center staff, please explain your situation clearly in this topic and ask "What advice did other people receive ？?

We have heard from the unemployment insurance help team that the call center is very difficult to connect. However, I hear that if you call patiently, you will be connected, so please hang in there.

As I told you the other day, there is a good chance that you will not be able to see your UI account this month, so I am sorry, but please do not direct your questions to me.

Dear Sunset and everyone

I would like to share my situation.
I was due until 3/21/2021.
I would have had until the week of 4/17/2021 to receive PEUC2 and
it was extended, so I wasn't particularly concerned about the deadline.
(I didn't actually start receiving UI until May. )
But somehow, I was concerned about the due date, so I logged in on 3/21/2021 to see if there was any information, and
I checked the due date that appeared under Claim Inquiry, and
the due date was still 3/21/2021, but the balance was the amount due in September.
But when I made a Claim for the week of 3/20/2021 on the next day (3/22/2021) and went into Claim Inquiry for confirmation,
there was only one sentence "This claim has expired as of 03/21/2021." and
the balance was gone. part was missing.
I am worried if I can make a Claim for the week of 03/27/2021, but
for now, I will check the UI system for a week to see if there is any change.
If it changes, I will share again.

Thank you Sunset
Thanks again.
Sunset you are very helpful.
Thank you so much.

Similar to twinsmonkey's case.

Last Wednesday （ Confirmed balance increased on 3/17 ）

As of Tuesday 3/22
Benefit period ends 3/21
Benefit period has passed but can log in
"This claim has expired as of 03/21/2021." and the balance is no longer displayed
I was able to apply for 3/20 with no problem
*In my case, I applied on 3/9, which is a bi-weekly application, so I got an error message that I applied too early. It might be because it was for the last Saturday of the period until 3/21.

The system seems to be working, and we will see how the 3/20 application will be affected by the change.

I appreciate everyone's updates. I will share any changes as well.

Dear twinsmonkey and SUNSET,

I am in the exact same situation as twinsmonkey, with a YEAR END DUE on 03/21/2021.
After completing the FILE for the week ending March 20 on the 21st, I logged in yesterday, the 22nd, and
the balance for WBA 11 weeks disappeared without a trace, showing that this claim has expired as of 03/21/2021.
I am now thinking that this may be due on a system update and will wait and see for a while.
I share your concern.
There are probably many people in a similar situation.

Dear all,

This is my first time posting.
I am contacting you because my situation was similar to those above.

In my case, PEUC started at 11 ／ 8 ／ 20, so 13 weeks plus 11 weeks, so the benefit end date should have been 4 ／ 25 ／ 21, but it was 3 ／ 14 ／ 21.
Anyway, I was filing as much as I could. There were deposits with no problems. In the meantime, Biden's stiumulus package was approved, so I assumed that this date and balance would be updated naturally, and I thought I would just keep an eye on it, so I left it as it was, and eventually I got the message "This claim has I thought that the balance would be naturally updated, so I kept on checking on it. I also looked at it for about a week after that, but there was no change, so I called the UI office yesterday and today. Luckily, I was able to get through, but yesterday I got a woman with a bad attitude who didn't tell me her name and hung up on me, but today I got a nice woman who told me that since the claim was expired, I needed to reapply for an initial claim. They told me that they cannot change the date or the amount 。。。。
In the end I filed the INITIAL claim again. I'm not sure if this was the right thing to do, but I did Expire it -
I guess I shouldn't have because my BENEFIT END DATE was wrong to begin with, but I will call again.

Note:

In this PEUC September Extension Program, we have seen a few locals who tried to resolve the issue on their own by applying for Reactivate a Claim because "Benefit Year End has expired" （. → As a result, it has not been resolved ） .

Within a week, a new balance was added and the Benefit Year End deadline was automatically extended, according to locals who said they just waited and did nothing.

Indeed, Anne also stated in the interview video, "You don't have to do anything".

So never apply for Reactivate a Claim at your own discretion, and only do so when instructed to do so by the UI office.

The UI office is working hard to update each applicant's UI account right now, and the speed at which updates are completed will vary. Please do not be impatient with the difference in the speed of the update and wait 'a week' while checking your e-mail to see what is happening around you.

Thank you Sunset and everyone for all your valuable information.
I am sorry, I would like to ask you about a friend of mine at work, but regarding Gross when you work partial and receive UI, it seems that the amount you file each week will not exceed the set UI WBA amount, but you will receive commission once a month for about 3 WBAx per month. However, I will receive a commission of about WBAx3 once a month. If this is the case, of course, I will be disqualified for that week, but it will be a significant monthly salary, so I wonder if I will not be able to apply for UI in the future ？
Earning amount per month （ Gross), or is there a limit to the hours I can work? ？ I have looked in the UI handbook and it does not say so. Thank you in advance.

Uminikuyo,

The first thing to keep in mind is that "commission", "part time" and "hourly" are the same rules.

The Partial Claim section on page 6 of the handbook is the rule. In other words, there is a weekly rule and no monthly rule. Please advise him to re-read the handbook, taking it as not a rule except as written in the handbook. As we have told you before, it depends on how the employer reports labor. Please make sure that the content of the labor report is consistent with your employer before submitting it.

Please also read my response to Bibiriman in the "How much unemployment insurance do you receive when you start working part-time" topic.

Addendum
As I announced in #6 of this Topic, questions like this one will have a different purpose from this Topic "PEUC September Extension Program", so it will be difficult for people reading for reference to find past cases. In the future, please start a new topic with a title that is easy to understand if you want to post a content like this one. It would be very helpful if you could write in the form of sharing rather than asking questions.

Reminder]

I would like to remind you that I have seen a few threads so far that have misunderstood about account balances.

Just because you have a balance in your account does not mean that you will continue to receive payments after the PEUC program is terminated.

The last payment for the "PEUC September Extension Program" is due on September 4. After this deadline, you will not be paid even if you still have a large account balance.

Please be careful not to misunderstand.

[Note:

As Anne says in the interview video as shared in #18 of this Topic, we have already finished the process of adding the new balance for the PEUC September extension.

The only published reason for having to submit a second Initial Application in the middle of receiving the PEUC program is the "$25 difference rule" as shared in #21 of this Topic.

If no new balance has been added as of today, please try filing weekly first, the UI system on the UI office side may respond and add a new balance.

If the new balance for the September extension is not added and you can no longer even file weekly, it is possible that there is an undisclosed rule on the part of the Glitch generation or UI office. The only way is to check your e-mail and contact the call center.

If your Benefit Year End has not yet been automatically extended, but you have already added the new balance for the September extension, don't worry, just check your email and wait for a "week" after the Benefit Year End expires.

[Case Study]

A case study was shared and is shared below.

Please do not be in a hurry to compare the order or speed to yours, but read this one from the perspective that the UI office is proceeding with the September extension in less than a week. There are still a few cases where everything has been completed in this manner, and we believe there are more to come.

March 21
Benefit Year End deadline Expires

March 23 AM
File a Claim Certification for March 20 close

March 23 PM
September New balance for the extension is added

March 24 AM
Benefit Year End due date is automatically extended by September

PS:
File a Claim after Benefit Year End due date has passed Certification is no longer possible after the Benefit Year End deadline has passed. In that case, if you have already added the new balance for the September extension, we recommend that you wait "one week" after the Benefit Year End deadline has passed while checking your email and clicking on the date in File a Claim Certification each day.

I became expired on 3/14/21 and received a letter of PEUC extension on 3/19.
I received an email yesterday 3/25 with the contents of File an Initial Claim, so I filed an Initial Claim today.

I did not get a screen to choose whether to continue PEUC or Iinitial Claim, I just clicked Submit and it was done, then I received an email with Confirmation number.
Now, at the bottom of the Inquiry screen, in red, it says "YOUR CLAIM WILL EXPIRE ON 03/20/2022 AND YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS STILL NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED." and the period in the table is "Claim 03/21/2021 - 03/20/2022".

I don't know if I can Claim for the week of 3/20/21 after I became Expired, I was working shorter hours, so there should be a difference of $25 or more when I calculate the WBA, but I don't know when I will be able to choose to continue PEUC, but we will see. I am not sure when I will be able to choose to continue with PEUC, but I will wait and see.

Urgent]

We have received an urgent share from the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, which we have reconfirmed directly with the Examiner in the UI Office, and we are sharing it with you ASAP.

If you received email #57, it says that only those who have temporarily returned to work since they started receiving unemployment insurance or are working short or part-time must File an Initial Claim.

If an e-mail is sent to someone who has never worked since unemployment insurance benefits began and has been temporarily or totally unemployed for a long time, he says it is a "Glitch on the part of the UI office. They say, "Just ignore the e-mails and continue filing weekly and you'll be fine."

The unemployment insurance help team and I totally agree with you, but the UI office not announcing the above immediately remains a problem. I believe that Anne, who did not speak up about the above in the interview video, was not aware of this at the time. Rather, "it is more likely that the entire UI office did not anticipate this Glitch," as discussed by the Unemployment Insurance Help Team.

For those who have been temporarily or totally unemployed ever since they started receiving unemployment insurance and have already submitted a File an Initial Claim after receiving the email, "the UI office should be able to fix the system and you should be fine. Several members of the Unemployment Insurance Help Team are in the same situation and have already submitted a File an Initial Claim, so I will share the subsequent progress in this topic.

Glitch is said to be caused by an outdated system on the part of the UI office, so I don't think it has anything to do with job hunting.

As I shared in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13-Week Extension Program" topic, the UI Office has been encouraging people to register with Hirenet for some time, so I think you should do so. However, this does not necessarily lead to a solution to Glitch.

In the case of this Glitch, there is no precedent as of today as to how it will be resolved, but when the call center reopens, please let them know that you received an email and submitted an Initial Claim even though you do not have a Wage.

For those of you who have had short or part time wages since you started receiving unemployment insurance,

[File an Initial Claim Submission]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has shared a note share with us.

When you receive email #57 and are asked to submit a File an Initial Claim, please enter the "Company Name", "Full Termination Date", "Temporary Termination Date", etc. correctly. The company name is the official name on your pay stub.

If the applicant's information held by the Department of Labor does not match the File an Initial Claim information entered by the applicant, the UI Office system will not be able to read it.

In the past, there have been many cases where an applicant made a mistake in entering the File an Initial Claim information, resulting in a system mismatch, and the unemployment insurance was incorrectly denied or the WBA was $ 0.

If you make a mistake, call the call center to have it corrected. It is recommended that you print or save a screenshot of the file before clicking the Submit button after entering the information.

* Again, as a reminder, if you receive an email even though you have no wage since you started receiving unemployment insurance, it is a "Glitch on the UI office side" and the email was sent in error.

[If there are many new WBAs]
This is my first time posting. My case is.
I have a WAGE with shorter hours and part time since I started receiving unemployment insurance.
My balance has increased and updated and my expire date has also changed to 6/30/2021.
Original Claim Expire was 3/21/2021; I received a letter dated 3/22 saying that my PEUC was extended and I did not have to do anything. Then I received an Email on 3/25 with instructions to File an Initial Claim.
In my case, the new WBA is more than the current one when I do the math.
I think I will get the same amount of WBA if I File an Initial Claim after April 4.
Also, if I file a File an Initial Claim after July 4, the WBA amount will change, but I think it will be Eligible.
I just completed the 3/27 file with no problem, we will see if it will be Processed.

In #63, Sunset wrote the following: "Do we have to"? Or, since the current WBA is lower, is it my intention to continue with PEUC as it is?
"If you received email #57, it says that only those who have temporarily returned to work since they started receiving unemployment insurance or are working short or part-time must File an Initial Claim."

I am wondering if I can delay filing for Regular UI if I can still file with PEUC. We'll see how it goes.

Bonus, Paid Work]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team continues to contact us and we are sharing this information with you as soon as possible.

The #57 email may be misdirected to those who have not worked since their Unemployment Insurance benefits began and have received a "Bonus" or "Paycheck". If this is the case, simply ignore the email and file weekly without submitting a File an Initial Claim.

It is the opinion of the Unemployment Insurance Help Team that the emails were most likely misdirected to applicants who also received a bonus or paid time off, perhaps because the UI office did not pre-configure the system （ or because an older system was not pre-configured ）. The team's view is that it is likely that the emails were sent to applicants who received bonuses or paychecks.

As I shared in #57, I think it is safe to ignore the email at this time if the Benefit Year End deadline was automatically extended due to a newly added account balance.

According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, the #57 email tends to be sent to "those who have worked since their unemployment insurance benefits began," "those who have earned more than 5 times their WBA since January of this year," and "those with bonuses or paid time off."

However, the UI Office is supposed to have a set of criteria rules for "eligible" and "ineligible" people who must submit a File an Initial Claim （ What the criteria are is undisclosed at this time ）. Those who are eligible must submit a File an Initial Claim anyway.

If this is the status quo, and if the filing is no longer "Processed" each week, you can tell the call center your total labor income and recheck to see if you should submit a File an Initial Claim.

To those who received the PEUC September extension approval letter in the mail,

[PEUC September extension approval letter]

As several people have shared in this Topic, the letter states "You do not need to take any action to receive You do not need to take any action to receive this additional benefit. However, this letter was mailed sensibly to all PEUC recipients. In other words, don't be concerned about this wording, but check your junk mail folder and other mailboxes daily to see if you receive the #57 email before or after the Benefit Year End expiration date.

It is true that this wording is confusing PEUC recipients and is a lack of announcement on the part of the UI office. We have no choice.

*I think those who have not received the letter do not need to worry too much because there were many cases where the 13-week PEUC extension or 11-week PEUC extension did not receive the approval letter in the mail after all and the payment started. There were cases where the approval letter arrived by mail after a considerable delay, at a time when it was "just now ？". If you have not received your approval letter by the next May, and you want one, please contact the call center.

I'm sharing this again as I've reconfirmed it with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team after seeing the various cases over the past week.

As I shared in #57, if you received the #57 email after your account balance was already newly added and your Benefit Year End was already automatically extended through June, you can ignore it. You do not need to file an Initial Claim. Please keep this in mind.

We have seen several cases of weekly filing suddenly switching from Weekly to Bi-weekly as soon as the PEUC September extension program. Please read the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13-Week Extension Program" Topic to see what it will show when it switches.

Let me ask a question.
I repeatedly said "one" to the call center but they could not hear me, so I tried the "Unemployment Benefit" that someone mentioned and was connected to an operator.
I told them that I had been on pending since January, and for some reason the call went back to the first automated voice prompt.

Dear SUNSET and everyone, This is the inquiry that I shared in

＃ 37 ， ＃ 58. Today, we have another change in the situation and we would like to share it with you.

Until yesterday, only 11 weeks of WBA was outstanding, although the YEAR END deadline was extended to June 30, but
*We were prepared in a sense
to think that it would be extended to September after June came to be reviewed as a quarter.
However, today, I was able to see that the balance was still outstanding. However, when I logged in today, March 29, in the morning,
the balance of WBA 11 weeks plus 25 weeks of WBA had increased to a total balance of WBA 36 weeks.
*Simple math would mean that it would take until November.
Of course, there is currently a guideline that benefits are only available until the first week of September, so I understand that no matter how much balance is left
I will not receive it.
In case you are wondering, we still have not received any letter or e-mail from UI OFIICE.
Please check your own UI balance, as many of you may have had similar changes in your situation as we have. We will let you know as soon as possible.

Call Center]

Even English speakers have a very hard time connecting even if they pronounce "One" （ It is puzzling why the UI office decided to stop using the dial push system and use the voice system which is much more stressful ）.

not for consultations that might require Examiner or Adjuster approval （ PEUC approval, Overpayment, etc. ） or for simple consultations that might be handled quickly （ Glitch, Backdate, etc. ）. is to fax or email them with no luck, we have seen several cases where faxing has resulted in changes to the UI account.

As those who have been in the U.S. for a long time already know, local people avoid leaving evidence by e-mail to avoid problems later, which is why they seldom reply to e-mails. If you have a question that requires a response from the UI office, we strongly recommend that you call the call center rather than faxing or e-mailing.

Remember to include the following in your faxes and e-mails before the reminder. If you forget to do this, the UI office will not be able to verify your identity and will not let you through.

Keep in mind. → The UI office has nothing to do with Stimulus Check business; we don't usually get calls regarding Stimulus Check. The checks usually arrive suddenly and without prior notice, either by bank transfer, check, or credit/debit card.

If you receive a suspicious call, be careful not to give them any personal information.

To find out if it is the UI office, you can say "I am not sure if it is Scam, so I need to check, please tell me how much is my WBA. Please tell me the Benefit Year End date of my unemployment insurance" and ask. The UI office staff, who can see the applicant's account in the system immediately, can answer accurately.

YOUR CLAIM CLAIM WILL EXPIRE ON 03/●●/2022 AND YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS STILL NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED

This red text message disappears and it takes an average of 21 days to return to normal mode. Last spring, it took almost a month from the first Initial Application submission to approval, so we assume the same kind of arrangement.

According to the shares from locos, the red text message has disappeared and the Benefit Year End deadline has been extended to June and a new balance added. And the weekly filing has also been successfully "Processed".

I think if we wait this out, we should be fine, unless other problems arise.

According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, online consultations are handled by staff other than Examiners and Adjusters. Therefore, as mentioned in the article, if you have an appointment with an Examiner or Adjuster for an Overpayment or Pending consultation that requires their approval, the appointment will be cancelled later on.

In other words, it seems to be similar to the image of a "call center turned online".

They are currently only accepting reservations for 84 slots. Currently, only 84 slots are available. I tried to open the system to see how it works, but as I expected, there was a huge competition and the slots were filled years in advance.

My personal impression is that it is faster to contact the call center patiently than to wait forever for an online consultation appointment slot to become available.

Thank you for your valuable share.

Please note that I am only speculating. → At the time I received the Revised letter in the mail on March 29, the WBA had not yet been calculated, so I feel that the WBA shown on my UI account this time is the final decision from the second Initial Application submission. Perhaps a second Revised Letter will arrive in the mail at a later date.

If you are not satisfied with the WBA, we recommend that you contact the call center （ until you are satisfied, and if possible, have an Examiner ） explain the process.

Letter received before the WBA was finalized, and email by Glitch... the UI office continues to confuse us.... The UI office must be in a whirlwind of confusion as well.

My 3rd PEUC was approved yesterday until 06/27/2021.
I have been receiving unemployment insurance since the end of March 2020 when my company took a leave of absence with a "stay at home order."

"This claim has expired as of 03/21/2021." and the Claim period was not extended after more than 2 weeks.
After a phone call to DLIR that finally connected, the claim was extended immediately and I was able to file the claim.

Just then, I asked, "Did you receive money from the company?" I was asked, 'We have a record that you received $00.00 cents from the company between April and September 2020, what is this ？?'
"When was the money paid ？?" I asked, to which he replied, "I don't know the details.
I happened to record it and I discovered that the amount was the sum of two March paychecks transferred by the company in April 2020 （ It even fit the paycheck and ¢ units ）.

I have never reported that money to DLIR before.
Apparently, the DLIR system shows a report from the company that they paid $0, even though I don't know the details of that payment.

I told them that the amount was my salary for work done before I applied for unemployment insurance.
After being put on hold for a while, they responded 'wait a week or so and it will be OK' （ It was actually extended the same day ）.

I also emailed and faxed DLIR, but got no response.
But one phone call solved the problem （ I couldn't get through to the operator and kept shouting "One!" into the receiver ） .

Then I found out that I should be able to answer when asked about the money I had received since applying for unemployment insurance.
whether it be legitimate salary, paid vacation, or severance pay.
These are my cases.

p.s.
This is my first time posting here. I just recently came across this exchange forum and was helped by the information that sunset is putting together. Thank you very much.

I am sharing the link to the 19th new proclamation by Governor Ige last night. It is on pages 24-25 regarding unemployment insurance.
↓
https://governor.hawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/2104031-ATG_Nineteenth-Emergency-Proclamation-for-COVID-19-distribution-signed.pdf

However, there are many phrases that even locals have difficulty understanding, so we asked the unemployment help team to explain them. As it turns out, there is nothing particularly important about unemployment insurance.

Immediately after submitting the second Initial Application, the "Waiting Period - All claimants must serve a mandatory one-week waiting period on a new claim. The waiting period is the first week of unemployment on your claim in which you meet all of the eligibility requirements and are not disqualified. You must file for the waiting period week even though no benefits will be paid to you. In short, "this indication will simply disappear from the UI system. The applicant only needs to follow the same procedure as before.

Also, until the Hawaiian government or the UI office makes an official announcement, job search and job search reports will continue to be exempted.

If you are asked a job search question in your weekly filing, you may answer the following questions each week.
↓
Did you look for work → Yes
How many did you contact? → 3
Do you keep the record ？ → Yes

The UI office encourages but does not mandate Hirenet registration. However, it is not impossible that the UI Office will start checking whether applicants are registered with Hirenet or not, depending on the conclusion of the federal Congress on what to do with unemployment insurance after September, in light of the Corona situation. I also recommend that you register with Hirenet.

UI Director Interview]

There will be a video interview with Anne, UI Director, on April 16 （ Friday ） 10:30am on the Honolulu Star Advertiser Facebook page.

In each of the past interview videos, she has announced announcements and changes of high importance. We tend not to announce those in the UI office press releases, so the interview videos are a must-see for the latest information.

Dear Sunset and everyone

Thank you for all the information. I have just received an Email from UI and it asks me to File an InitialClaim. I have been given a shortened workday back at work, but my weekly Wage is less than WBA, so I am receiving UI. I was just waiting for my ExpireDate to be changed on the web when I filed my ExpireDate.

So I am surprised why I have to do an InitialClaim. If anyone has received a similar communication from UI, could you please let me know ？

The Letter from UI states
"you have sufficient wages to potentially qualify for a Please login and select File an Initial Claim to apply for a new regular claim for Unemployment insurance."

I am confused, since I received this email, I think I have to file an Initial Claim, but none of my co-workers have received anything like this and the 13 weeks of PEUC has been automatically extended.
If anyone has a similar experience, I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you in advance.

Just because they are in the same office does not mean they are subject to the same conditions. Each employee's salary is different, so in Uminiikuyo's case, she may have been eligible to submit a second Application under the past salary calculation rules determined by the UI office. （ What payroll calculation rules are unpublished. In this case, the UI office tends to instruct applicants who have worked after obtaining unemployment insurance to submit a second Initial Application ）

After submitting a second Initial Application, if their WBA is more than $25 less than their current WBA is more than $25 less than the current WBA, the current WBA will be continued.

To those of you who are exchanging information with colleagues

Please do not view your colleagues as having the same unemployment insurance conditions just because they work at the same place. They only have the same "fully terminated", "temporarily terminated", "hourly", or "part-time" status, and their "salary", "paid", "bonus", and "company history" are different. Please keep in mind when exchanging information that these are reflected in your unemployment insurance.

Since the end of March, there are still some locals who have not been able to solve the same problem as the above. Probably a glitch on the part of the UI office.

If you cannot apply for Reactivate a Claim on a weekday, or if you cannot apply for File a Claim Certification for April 10th even on the following Sunday （ April 18th ）, it is highly likely that you will remain inactive. Inactive status is likely to be continued. In this case, please ask the call center to correct the problem.

I made a second Initial Claim on 3/25 and red text was displayed, but on 4/10 the red text display disappeared and a new amount was displayed for 26 weeks. The amount is now $25.00 and has decreased a little.
On the Initial Claim, there was a question about the last work day, and I called to ask if it was really pending because the last work day and the termination date were different ？ I was told there was nothing wrong with the file and to wait for the amount to be added. Last work day is INFORMATION, so I was told to Reactive claim myself.

Hello.

I'm sorry if maybe someone asked the same question.
It's a huge amount and I haven't read all of it.

I
left Hawaii last July due to a family emergency and was outside Hawaii for about 6 months.
I was told that I could not file a claim during that time, so I resumed my claim after returning to Hawaii.
but after returning to Hawaii

we're sorry but we were unable to verify your current filing because we had initially filed the claim from outside the country because we did not know we had to do anything before leaving the country.

I have tried to call several times but have not been able to get through.

I still had a by-weekly claim, but I received an email saying that my EB20 was probably over and I would be transferred to PEUC2, but then it said Your claim must be reopened since it is currently inactive.

I have made some corrections and reposted.

If you received an email from UI asking you to make an Initial Claim, please let me know.

1œ) Will the sender of the email be "do_not_reply@ui.hawaii.gov"? ？
I get a lot of junk mail that I accidentally delete, so if I know the sender, I can avoid it somehow.

2) When I fill out the Initial Claim, when I fill out the past 18 months, for example, if I fill out the form today, should it be for the past 18 weeks backward from today ？
or should I fill out the same information as I did in 2020 when I first applied for UI? Would it be better ？ (I started receiving benefits in April 2020, so I mean the last 18 months of work placements retroactive to April 2020.)

It was indeed on the DLIR website. #128 I conveniently interpreted the Governor Ige's 19th declaration as the latest and
exempt from the 7-day waiting period.

I fall into the category of "those who have received an email and submitted a second Initial Application due to a Glitch on the part of the UI office even though they have not worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance" in #106,
I'm a little confused as to why there was no waiting week if they did nothing and waited for the automatic extension of the PEUC.

Governor Ige's declaration is more up-to-date. Despite the proclamation, a number of people have not yet lost their Watiting Period display from the system. Instead, they may have their account balance set at 26 weeks instead of 25 weeks.

The account balance for this PEUC September Extension Program is for 25 weeks; if the Benefit Year End deadline has been switched to June, you will receive an "automatic extension" or "second Initial Application submission" in June.

"I fall into the category of "people who have received an email and submitted a second Initial Application due to a glitch on the part of the UI office, even though they have not worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance" in #106, but did nothing.

If the WBA was not lowered by the second Initial Application, I think it is OK.

If you make an appointment for an online-style consultation （ ） call from the call center, a DLIR Claims Examiner will always look at your records, so I would recommend this to anyone who is unable to contact DLIR.

My friend and I both live on Oahu.
My friend has been on Pending ≪Pending change of quarter review for euc claim∩ since last December.
We waited and waited, but nothing changed, no phone calls, no response to e-mails or faxes, and we were just at a loss.
I scheduled an online consultation, and within a few hours my Pending 14-weeks was replaced with Process. （ I received no communication from DLIR, just that Pending had been changed to Process. ）

As sunset said, the "pending change of quarter review for …" was a "Glitch ＝ system error". It seems to be "Glitch system error".

In my case, I made a reservation for the third PEUC extension not to be made, but then the call to the call center was connected and the extension was made.
I kept the appointment just in case, but received an email （ Unemployment Insurance Tentative Appointment Cancelled ） （ 9 days after I made the appointment. I received this 12 days before my appointment date. ）
The email message was "PEUC claim has been extended, payments for w/e 3/27/21-4/10/21 pending LERS from the employer. payments will process.
It appears that the DLIR (Claims Examiner) looked at my record and cancelled my appointment in advance because the issue has been resolved.
In my case, I also found that DLIR had looked at my record because I had made an appointment.

The reservation slots fill up quickly, but they seem to show up every time there is a cancellation.
My friend and I both booked a time slot when it appeared after refreshing the page several times during the day.

The reservation is "Now Accepting Appointments" at https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/.

I am writing to ask if anyone else has had a case like mine ？.

I had a question long time ago, during the first PEUC, and this exchange square helped me a lot mentally. Thank you very much.

I applied for UI in furlough the week of 4/4/2020, and started receiving my benefits a month late with no letter from the UI office at all, I was unable to get claim certification the week of 9/26/2020, I applied for PEUC 1st time on 9/28/2020, and received an email with confirmation number. I applied for the first PEUC on 9/28/2020 and received an email with a confirmation number. However, I was not able to file a claim certification on 9/26/2020 and was told that your week ending date is not within a claim benefit year. I emailed to the UI office to ask about my case, and the UI office told me that I was not eligible for PEUC, but that I should file a new claim. I filed an Initial claim on 10/21.
Then I got a letter saying my Benefit year end was 10/17/2021, and I was wondering why it was so long, and then I got another letter saying it was 9/17/2021, and the Blance showed the amount through the week of 4/3/2021. Thanks to my councilor, I started receiving payments and since I still had both Benefit year end and Blanche, I was receiving UI without having to apply for a second PEUC or EB20. My Blance had a balance of $ 634 the week of 3/27, so I was wondering if it would be PENDING from here ？ due to lack of balance, and if I waited, Blance would be added until June or September ？. Benefit year end is 9 I thought I'd wait and see since it was /17/2021. when I tried to file the week of 4/3, for some reason it was changed to Bi-weekly, so I filed 4/3 and 4/10 together the following week.
4/3 was now PROCESSED, but 4/10 was DISQUAFIED and the DETAILS said Maximum benefit allowable for entire claim is exhausted. As of 4/16/2021, you have been paid $ ●●●. It was written as follows. Today, I am unable to file a claim certification for the week of 4/17, and Your maximum benefit amount has already been paid. The Benefit Year end to 9/17/2021 is gone, there is no additional Blance, and it looks like the PEUC September extension will not be extended.
Has anyone else had this experience ？
I will keep calling the call center, but I was wondering if anyone else had a similar case … before I get connected.

Perhaps you did not meet the PEUC requirements for some reason. I am sending you the PEUC conditions link for your reference.

"My Blance had a balance of $ 634 the week of 3/27, so I guess it will be PENDING from here ？ due to lack of balance, if I wait, I can get an additional Blance until June or I was wondering ？ if Blance would be added up to September."
↓
It seems that if you are not in the PEUC program, your account balance is not automatically added and your Benefit Year End expiration date is not automatically extended. Alohahawaii is not in the PEUC program stage, but in the second original UI stage.

"It looks like the Benefit Year End until 9/17/2021 is gone, no balance added and no PEUC September extension."
↓
Normally, the original UI would apply for PEUC when the account balance runs out, but since PEUC was denied last fall, it may be denied again.

Also, it is unclear if another PEUC application will be approved for an applicant who is in the original UI stage for the second time. In the past, people who were receiving unemployment insurance prior to Corona have had their PEUC applications denied, but this does not seem to be the case for Alohahawaii.

If your PEUC application is rejected again, I would think you would apply for a PUA. I am sending you the PUA conditions link for your reference.
https://labor.hawaii.gov/pua/

Unless there is a post from someone who has been able to resolve the same case as this rare situation, I still think you should check with the call center.

If the call center tells you to apply for a PUA, please try to find a PUA related topic and read past cases before working on it.

Thank you for your kind reply to my post. I am in the original UI for the second time and glad to know that I am not waiting for the balance to increase automatically.

I was on layoff in Sept 2019 and made my first Initial claim. However, I found a job within a week and called the UI office to report it. The staff at the time said they would cancel my application. Then the pandemic happened and I applied for Initial claim in April 2020 with partial claim and the confirmation email said Reactive. At that time, I didn't understand UI at all, and I didn't understand why it was Reactive, and above all, I was depressed because I didn't start receiving UI.

When I applied for the 1st PEUC, I answered YES to the 5 questions about the last job because it was not the most recent company that was furlough, but a company record that went layoff in September 2019. The benefit year end had expired at that time, and I thought the reason for the PEUC rejection was that I answered yes and that it was effectively a REACTIVE claim. I had given up on getting any more UI, but I thought … for the last time and consulted with my councilor. There was a restaurant card distribution at this time, but I could not get it because it was not PROCESSED for the first week of September.

I filed a second original in October 2020 and a Reactive claim in March 2021 because it went from furlough to layoff and was PENDING for 3 weeks. I was able to file and receive payments every week with no problems until the balance was lost. And now it is like writing.

I always read your posts for reference, and sunset's advice has helped me, and I am grateful for this exchange forum. I didn't know what stage I was at. sunset, thank you so much.

As for what I can do now, I will go into my account today and at the bottom of the Task list, under the PEUC description, I will do "Click here to apply for Extended Benefits. If PEUC is denied, I will call the call center. If they say PUA application, I will refer to the related topic. Thank you for your kind attention to the complex UI.

Alohawaii,

I will contact you as soon as possible.

You should check with the call center before applying for PEUC. Because there is a possibility that Pending may be prolonged like last time.

Since your application for unemployment insurance under "Furlough Status" was cancelled and you were approved under "1st Original UI"&"Short-Term Status", it sounds like you will probably get a PEUC permit.

I think a better arrangement would be to explain to the call center everything that has happened since 2019 without omission, and then ask for a decision and instructions on whether you should apply for PEUC or a second original UI, which would eliminate the risk of getting caught in a long Pending process.

You should never try and enter your own information.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I will call the call center first ！

I have a lot of problems with unemployment insurance, and sometimes I feel like I am losing my mind, but thanks to sunset, I have been able to hang on. People close to me don't have any problems with unemployment insurance, so I was also mentally helped by everyone sharing their cases in this exchange square. I am so grateful for your help.

I am writing to see how many people are in the same situation or if there is any problem with my case ？.

My Benefit Ending Year expired on 4/4. I have sent an email to the UI office and started calling the call center today. I also started to call the call center but could not get through, so I will start calling again tomorrow.

I wonder if everyone is getting a smooth and automatic extension if they wait up to a week as was announced ？.

EM,
Ladies and gentlemen,

My Benefit Ending Year ran out on 4/4.
Until then, just like you EM, everything was fine and even the 3rd PEUC amount was added.

From here, let me share with you, slightly different from Mr. EM.
4/4(日) Claim for 4/3ending
4/5(月) Benefit Year expired, PEUC amount etc. disappear
4/11) Received email for 2ndinitial claim, 2ndinitial claim
*4/10ending claim cannot be made.

From the post shared by sunset,
I think I was eligible for the 2nd INITIAL CLAIM because I was working a short week or so at the Corona disaster.
I did the math and the difference in WBA was less than $25.　

Immediately after the 4/11 INITIAL CLAIM ended, my Benefit Year was extended to "4/11/2021-4/10/2022"
In the column where the amount is listed, the following is in red, as you have already shared.
YOUR CLAIM WILL EXPIRE ON 04/10/2022 AND YOUR ELIGIBILITY FOR BENEFITS STILL NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED.

You have received a Confirmation email and Instructed to call or email UI office if you wish to backdate.
Started calling on 4/12 since only 4/10ending claim was not made, connected on 4/13.
Answer was that they would change the new Benefit Year one week earlier so that I could backdate.

It has been a week since then and we are looking at it.

When backdating is available, how to backdate, as already shared by sunset,
"reactivate a claim" and backdate on the next day. Is this correct?
After that, will there be any changes in system updates, etc.?
If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.

My Benefit Year End was 3/28.
I contacted the UI office to get an extension, as they did not automatically extend my due date.

My 25 weeks extension until PEUC September was credited on 3/15 and I received the letter two days later.
I thought it would go smoothly, but the deadline was not automatically extended ・ ・ ・

I referred to ＃ 28 and sunset's advice "possible case examples" in this topic
I waited one week and on 4/5 I checked my account again in the morning, but no change.
First, I sent an email to the UI office with "Request for extension" in the subject line, then tried to call
but no connection.
I went out shopping a little after 4pm and received a call from the UI office on my way out.
They confirmed ？ the name of the company I worked for when I was laid off last year and whether I had worked at all since I was laid off
they told me they would extend it on the spot
I checked my account when I got home and it had been successfully extended.

I am sure EM will be able to extend your
extension as long as you can contact the UI office.
Good luck!

EM, kksk,
To those who have not been able to get the PEUC September extension,

- If more than 1 week has passed -
As announced by Anne, if more than 1 week has passed since the second Initial If more than 2 weeks have passed, either the application is "systemically abandoned" or "overpayment has occurred". As Caroll said, please continue to try your best to contact the UI office.

Several locals have shared that faxing has resulted in automatic extensions, not that faxing is absolutely effective, but that you should try all means: "phone," "email," "fax," "online consultation appointment," and "mail.


- Backdating -
If the call center says "we will backdate", the applicant does not have to go through the system, but can enter the date in File a Claim If the call center says "backdate", the applicant does not have to go through the system, but can check daily if the date is available in the Certification Application, and file weekly when it is available.

If a call center asks the applicant to "Reactivate a Claim" for a backdate, the applicant will follow the instructions. Since the UI system is upgraded every few months, you should ask for detailed information on the latest application procedure when you are asked to "Apply for Reactivate a Claim".

The following are the times when you can apply for Reactivate a Claim. Outside of these times, an error message will be displayed; the UI account will have all the times for each of these, including other procedures.

Monday through Friday
6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

I understand well regarding the backdating.
Thank you.

I just checked my UI account and
the column where the amount is listed is no longer in red and shows the new WBA for 26 weeks.
It has been about a week since the second INITIAL claim.

As for the backdate, the date input was not possible, so we will check it daily from now on.

Sunset, everyone, I will share my current situation.

1, UI balance was 0 the week of 9/26/2020, PEUC1 from 10/3/2020 （ I'll spare you the details, but a lot happened and I actually applied for PEUC1 the first week of November ）

2, I had two call centers in December 2020 Connect ⇨ Both times they say no problem.

3, January 2021 → Reactivate due to transition to PEUC2

4, February 2021, connect to call center ⇨ Told Pending due to Overpayment and told I will get a call and letter. They tell me I have to wait for that.

5, Benefit Year ends on 03/21/2021.

6, Within a week, you will receive an email asking you to submit an Initial Claim as you have Qualified for the new Benefit Year

7, Apply for Initial Claim ⇨ Approved and you will receive a letter with your WBA. You will receive a letter with the WBA. （ The WBA was listed as about $150 lower than the previous WBA ） ⇨ A new Benefit Year is added to your account.

8, Applied for Initial Weekly Certification → Pending

9, UI office called on 4/16 （ Could not answer ） "Reactivate in January, March Initial Claim" and "I would like to check on the Avaiability submitted in the Initial Claim". I called back to the phone I was told, but the line was disconnected due to High Volume. I emailed the UI office to that effect.

10, I logged into my account for the first time in a while, and
a^)13 weeks of PEUC1 that had been Pending since 10/3 was Processed. （ No Overpayment TEL or letter has been received, no evidence of Overpayment being deducted. ）
bœ)Claims made after 1/2/2021 were Disqualified. （ Details says "because the balance was exhausted" ）
cœ)Initial Claim newly applied for in 7 was canceled. （ WBA was more than $25 lower ！ ？ ）
dIt appears that the period （ 6/30/202020 was extended for what appears to be PEUC3.

The process is as follows.

Since PEUC1 has been Pending for more than 26 weeks since 10/3/2020, the timeline may be a little confusing, but after filing the Initial Claim, the WBA was calculated and the PEUC3 was extended at the original WBA amount.

There has been some progress, but it will still take more time as the PEUC2 portion of the 1/2~ has not been approved yet.

Thanks for the advice about "if more than a week has passed".
Yesterday I kept calling for about 5 hours until 4:30pm when the office closed, but I never got through. What I learned yesterday was that as soon as 4:00 PM hits, the announcement changes to something that will not put me on hold again after the line is connected. Hoping to get this resolved by the end of the day, I started calling this morning at 7:45 AM when they opened, and after getting through at exactly 9:00 AM, I had to wait another 9:15 AM before I could speak to a staff member. My labor report from my former employer had recently arrived, and it seemed that the paid payroll had been caught, but the call center staff said, "Please send your pay stubs for April-June and October-December 2020 and your employment status letter from the company by 12:00 PM to the email address I will give you. Please send them to the email address I am going to give you by 12:00 pm. I will check my email at 12 p.m. so you can review the content and show it to your supervisor to move forward. And I will call you after that is done". I asked him if he meant that I have Overpayment ？ and he said "I don't know about that, but right now we are having everyone whose term is not automatically renewed submit this material and we are not giving help to anyone who cannot do that". I had the impression that he was avoiding a Yes/No response to my question. （ Maybe it was just the way he spoke ）
I did what I was told immediately, and while I was out of the office with my phone in mind, there seemed to be an incoming call and the voicemail left said "We are in the extension process, please continue to file as before. The voicemail message I received said, "We are in the extension process, so please continue to file as you have been doing. If you know, I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

（ Question 1 ） As far as I can see in this topic, there are those who got an extension until 6/27 （ Sun ） and others on 6/30 （ Wed ）, is there any significance in the difference ？?

（ Question 2 ） I have not been told anything about overpayment of paid time, how will it be handled ？

（ Question 3 ） If I call this time to get an extension ？

Thank you for always sharing your enormous amount of information.

EM,

As I told you the reason in #7 of this topic, I am not answering your question at this time, but I will only share what I understand as I know many people have the same question.

I am very sorry, but in the future, please do not address your questions to me, but only share your own situation. Please follow the process of asking the call center about any questions you may have. Thank you for your understanding.

（ Question 1 ） As far as I can see in this topic, some of you extended until 6/27 （ Sun ） and others until 6/30 （ Wed ）, is there any significance in the difference ？
↓
There is no particular meaning to the difference. The UI office has not published a reason as to why they are different.

（ Question 2 ） We have not been told anything about overpayment for paid time, how will it be handled ？
↓
The UI office has not confirmed the match between the employer's paid time report and EM The UI office will verify the match between the employer's pay report and the EM's pay report, and only after that verification will Overpayment occur.

As we have advised you several times in the past in various topics, it is important to voluntarily confirm the consistency of labor reports with the employer before submitting a File a Claim Certification in order to avoid an Overpayment. Paid work must be reported.

（ Question 3 ） If I get an extension by calling this time, does that mean I have to call again in June when the upcoming BEY expires ？
↓
Does the "please call in June and if you don't get an extension until September, please call me.

At this point, expect the same arrangement as this time. Unless a new Glitch happens, unless the UI office adds a new rule, it will be one of the following after the Benefit Year End deadline expires in June.
① Applicants who have worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance will receive an email reminder to submit an Initial Application
② The application will be automatically extended

Sandy,

Thank you for sharing this very clear timeline formula.

I feel that the UI office, which has made the Overpayment process a top priority, finally got serious when Sandy realized that the timing of the Benefit Year End expiration and submission of the Initial Claim was long Pending due to a possible Overpayment I feel that they finally got serious about it when they realized that it was in the status of Overpayment.

The UI office seems to want to look into January and March, so it would be a good idea to ask them to turn it over to the Adjuster if it connects to the call center, in order to get it paid sooner for after January 2.

I managed to extend the period of time I can File PEUC, so here is my case.

Unemployment started on 2020/04/25
End of 2020/08 Layoff from company.
2021/04/11 This claim has expired
2021/04/18 "File an Initial Claim" to apply for a new regular claim for Unemployment Insurance benefits." email
2021/04/22 [Online-style consultation appointment] and the third PEUC is extended until 2021/06/27

I have not worked at all since I started receiving unemployment insurance.
At least 7 former colleagues （ in the same situation as me ） received the same "File an Initial Claim" email at the same time.

After seeing the advice of sunset and the Unemployment Insurance Help Team that "#63 Only those who worked must File an Initial Claim", I was convinced that the "File an Initial Claim" instructions to me were UI I was convinced it was a mistake.
So I attempted to contact the UI without "File an Initial Claim.

I kept trying [Book an Online Consultation] and happened to see a time slot for next week, so I booked it.
https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/oahu-appointments/
40 minutes after I made the appointment, I received an email from UI cancelling my appointment.
It was an email with the message "PEUC was extended. continue filing claim certifications."
I opened my Claim Inquiry and found that it had been extended to "Your benefit year ends 06/27/2021" and the Available balance amount had been restated.

Meanwhile, a colleague in the same situation was also able to speak with a call center person today.
I told him that I had not worked since I started receiving unemployment insurance, but he instructed me to make an Initial Claim.
My co-worker explained that she had received an email "File an Initial Claim".

I did not mention that I had received the "File an Initial Claim" email when I made the [online-style consultation appointment], I just wrote "expanded."
Perhaps the Examiner at the UI office who received my [online consultation appointment] and reviewed my records did not know that the "File an Initial Claim" email was sent to me in the system.
I am thinking that the Examiner who saw my records may have interpreted that I was just omitted from the PEUC extension process and extended my PEUC.

These are my cases. I hope it will be helpful to someone else.
Thank you sunset and unemployment insurance help team for the useful information.

As you mentioned in a past Topic, the employer mistakenly denied you from coming to work, so it is possible that the history has not been fully corrected and is affecting you in the system. You should discuss this possibility with the call center.

I think the level of system modification is such that Examiner or Adjuster approval is not required, so you may want to try scheduling an online consultation （ Online consultation appointments do not accept critical levels that require Examiner or Adjuster approval. Online consultation appointments do not accept important levels that require Examiner or Adjuster approval, and will be cancelled afterwards ）.

You have also sent us private consultation emails, but as we told you in #7 of this Topic, we are not accepting them at this time. We appreciate your understanding.

[March]

This is an announcement from the Unemployment Insurance Help Team.
Tomorrow there will be a march against the Hawaii government.

The march will consist mainly of labor union members from various companies who have questioned the Hawaii government's stance on the Corona riots, as well as those who have been hit hard by the tourism, hotel, airline, and other closely held industries.

Date: May 1 （ Saturday ）
Meeting Time: 9:30 am
Start March Time: 10 am
Location: Please email me directly by 10 pm today if you wish to join.

Throughout the past year, many of the unemployed people who were swamped by the low level of Hawaii's unemployment insurance services this time around, I think there are probably fewer people who were not caught up in the Glitch, late payments, and other problems and were paid smoothly than those who could count on their fingers.

In addition, there are many workers at essential companies who felt that the federal and Hawaiian government's decision was unfair to them because they were forced to continue working in a high infection risk environment without generous corona benefits such as unemployment insurance immediately after the lockdown last year.

And there are many employers who have resumed business but are experiencing staffing shortages, and many employers who are just barely managing by reducing hours or hiring part-time employees.

Personally, I would like to thank the Hawaii government for leaving the 1980's UI system in place for so many years, for providing unemployment insurance without taking precautions against illegal activities, for the lack of support for families who could not afford to have their children stay home alone in online classes. We have questioned the lack of support for families who could not afford to have their children stay home alone in online classes, and the lack of compensation to replace the high praise given to employers who have cooperated fully in hiring the unemployed.

There may be a few of you reading this thread thinking "it doesn't affect me," but in addition to this coronavirus, a mutated virus is also spreading. We do not know how this will affect next year.

The current situation, where tourism business income from Mainland travelers alone is not enough, will widen the gap between the rich and the poor, and both essential and non-essential companies may face a severe ice age.

In this sense, we hope that those who are working, those who are unemployed, and those who are employers will see this march and demonstration as a message to the Hawaiian government from the perspective of others.

Cases of Concern]

One person provided us with information and we are sharing it with you after consulting with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team.

In particular, people whose WBA has jumped after submitting a second Initial Application or after automatically getting a PEUC extension should take note.

This person and his colleagues became totally unemployed in the summer and have not worked since they started receiving unemployment insurance.

However, they did not get an automatic extension after the Benefit Year End expired and received an email notice telling them to submit a second Initial Application.

And when he submitted the second Initial Application, his WBA jumped from $ 400 units to $ 600 units. Moreover, they have been credited to their bank account （ They have reconfirmed ） that apart from the jumped WBA, $300 per week has been credited .

According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, it is impossible for the WBA of an applicant who has never worked since he/she started receiving unemployment insurance to jump up, so it is most likely a happening due to system error or human error on the UI office side.

The solution is ① or ②.

① Send it to the UI office via email, fax or mail along with a copy of the approval letter at the WBA that was bumped up and a letter of circumstance to be reviewed while you are at it. And have it corrected if necessary.
↑
The Unemployment Insurance Help Team and I have heard from too many people who have had a difficult time waiting for overpayment.

② Maintain the status quo until the UI office notices and contacts you.
↑
You may be lucky if the UI office doesn't notice, but be aware that the risk of this choice is high and you will likely be treated as an Overpayment. the UI office will not overlook an Overpayment of only $10 or less. They tend to suddenly stop payment after a few months. Please read the "PEUC not yet approved" topic for your reference.

① and ②, whichever you choose is at your own discretion. Re-read the approval letter at the WBA that jumped up and double-check which period of past income is being calculated. If it is still unnatural, please choose to address either ① or ② yourself.

Vaccination]

This is not related to the purpose of the topic, but let me post this temporarily to help reduce corona together with everyone.

As you know, it is now possible to get the corona vaccination if you are 16 years old or older and live in Hawaii.

To find out where to get vaccinated in the state, text your phone to 438829 and enter the ZIP Code of your residence.

I just tried texting and it showed me the address and phone number of a Walgreen's or CVS near where I live. If you visit or call that location, you may be able to make an appointment for the vaccination.

This is very convenient, so if you have not yet been vaccinated, please take advantage of it. If you know people around you who would like to be vaccinated, please recommend it to them.

Link to:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/your-vaccination.html

Focus on those who have not been vaccinated Coronas are increasing and decreasing, so let's all continue to get through this together.

Correction of Labor Report and Initial Application]

After the applicant clicks the Submit button and submits the application, the applicant is not allowed to correct the information in the UI system and must contact the UI office to have it corrected directly.

-About Labor Report-
If you made a mistake in answering a question or labor income, please call the call center ASAP while in Pending status to have it corrected directly. According to past cases, we strongly recommend that you call as they tend not to respond to emails or faxes.

-Initial Application-
If you make a mistake in entering your name, social security number, address, company name, etc., the UI office system will not automatically pick up the applicant's past income. If you make a mistake in entering your name, social security number, address, company name, etc., the UI office system will not be able to automatically pick up your past income and will issue a letter of approval with a WBA of zero, which will hinder the background check process in future inquiries with the UI office. Please call the call center ASAP to have this corrected directly.

Please be careful again, as in past cases there have been many happenings where an approval letter with a zeroed WBA was received due to a mistake in the social security number or company name （ The company name is the official name as it appears on the pay stub ） .

If you can't get through to the call center, you may be able to e-mail or fax them, but the UI office that wasted hundreds of millions of unemployment insurance funds by mistakenly paying out to impersonating criminals received a stern warning from the federal government and unlike last year, they are very It is safer to make an appointment for consultation online rather than by email or fax.

Dear Sunset and everyone,
Please let me know.

Due to the pandemic, I was able to return to work in May after being laid off for the past year.
I am happy to be back in the workforce, but my work hours are much shorter than my previous full time hours.
Thankfully, I am still being paid UI, but since my first FILE the other day after returning to work,
the 300 minutes per week ＄ that I was addicted to in my rescue plan until September has disappeared.
I am shocked. Since I work very short hours, the salary I receive from the company plus UI is
less than the UI I used to receive, which honestly puts me in financial trouble.
If I work even a little and get paid even a small amount, will the ＄ 300 that I have been getting added to my UI be stopped ？
Do I have to be totally unemployed to be eligible ？ or are there any conditions? ？
Can anyone please help me?

If you are shown as "Disqualifed" because you worked more than 40 hours in a week or because your labor income was more than your WBA, you will not receive the $300 per week for that week.

On the other hand, if the $300 per week is not included even though it is shown as "Processed," it is possible that the UI office is behind in processing the $300 per week, or that a Glitch has occurred in the applicant's UI account. However, at this time, the locals do not seem to be experiencing any problems with delayed processing, so it may possibly be a Glitch. Please have the call center look into the factors.

P.S.
As we announced in #197 of this Topic, we are in the process of starting a new Topic for contents like this one, so please do so in the future.

Dear sunset

Thank you for your detailed reply.
I have no money in my bank account and ＄ I could not find the missing 300, so
I decided to contact you by e-mail first, and if the problem is still not solved, I will call the call center as instructed by Mr. sunset. I decided to contact the call center first by e-mail.
Before I did that, I logged in again to check and found that the screen display was accurate.
I am also happy to report that the bank account that I checked just in case was also
in the process of being credited, although much later than the Processed date that was shown.
This was a strange phenomenon, but I wonder if it was a temporary glitch ？ or a human input error ？
Recently, I have noticed that the number of days it takes to become Processed and to receive the money in my account is longer than before. days to become Processed and to be credited to my account compared to before.
Perhaps many of you feel the same way.
I am wondering if this is because they are inquiring if you have returned to work, if you have refused the offer, the number of hours you have FILE'd, and if the amount of gross pay
matches up with the workplace.
In any case, the mystery has been solved. p ． I understand your point S.
Again, thank you very much for your answer. Thank you very much.

Only the UI office staff knows, so I can't answer this question. However, since we officially announced at the beginning of this year that we are upgrading the system, it may be that glitches are more likely to occur as a result of this. I heard that the process from inquiry to deposit is done by the system, not by the staff.

I am deeply grateful for all the important information you have given me.
I would appreciate your advice.

I applied for 2nd partial initial after 1 year expired and PEUC balance disappeared and I received an email for 2nd initial.

4/24 2nd Partial initial application
5/5 The mode changed from red text mode to normal mode
26 weeks amount added
5/5 The amount was added, so
Filed for April 24 and May 1 respectively.

5/6 Apr 24th-Disqualified
(because more than WBA: no problem)
5/6 May 1st-Pending(Details not available)
5/6 Letter arrived. WBA has gone down by less than 25.

5/13 May 8-Filed
5/14 May 8- Pending(Details not available)

When I was getting PEUC, if I filed
Pending( Earning weekly report)-Pending(Details not available )-Processed and it took 4 days to deposit.

The May 1 amount was still Pending(Details not available), but since the amount had been added for 26 weeks, I thought the May 1 amount would be Waiting period and I would get it from the next week, so I did not call the UI and filed the May 8 amount. I did not call UI and filed for May 8.

However, May 8 was also filed, and the next day it became Pending (Details not available), and there was no Earning weekly report. I'm worried that it will remain as Pending.

I'm wondering if it's just taking longer than the previous PEUC, or if there was some mistake in the answer to the second initial application and it was treated as Pending without being Approved yet. I thought that the second initial was approved, but was I wrong?

I am not sure how to interpret the current Pending, and I would appreciate it if someone could advise me how to respond. Thank you in advance.

I think there is no problem since the PEUC approval letter was received on May 6.

As you have informed us in #206 of this Topic, it seems that the PEUC September extension program is taking even longer process time this time. In any case, I think it is not a problem on the applicant's side but on the UI office's side, and it may be due to the system upgrade or the more detailed review process.

If the "Details not Available" message has been displayed for more than a month, it is possible that the system has been neglected, and we recommend that you contact the call center. Please read #122 of this Topic for the meaning of "Details not Available".

Job Fair Introduction]

We have received some information about the Job Fair. The Honolulu Star Advertiser's Job Fair is a great opportunity for those who are looking for jobs in other industries and are looking for companies that offer generous benefits such as health insurance.
↓
https://hawaiijobs.careerfair.live/?utm_source=opi-sa&utm_medium=fb_post&utm_campaign=attendeesmay2021

They have an online interview process with HR and recruiters from each company. Many large companies are participating, so it's not a bad idea to take a peek at what kind of Job Fair it is.

Most of the above job fairs are for permanent positions and English is a prerequisite.

Also, with the return of Mainland tourists, the number of jobs in the hotel industry is increasing, so it would be a good idea to check the job listings of each hotel.

Applications are likely to become more intense each day as September approaches, when unemployment insurance benefits are likely to be lower. We recommend that you research company information thoroughly before applying for any job openings you are interested in.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team's strongest concern about the withdrawal of the job search waiver is that it would be a development in which the employer side would have overwhelming power. I am equally concerned and feel that there will be more problems related to employment.

The UI Office has been encouraging companies for the past year to report those who have turned down offer letters or refused to come in.

Please only apply to companies you really want to work for. If you randomly apply for a job without much interest and reject the offer letter without reason, you will lose all eligibility for unemployment insurance if the employer reports to the UI office that you have rejected the offer letter. Please read the rules in the handbook for more information.

Some employers may be unscrupulous enough to offer a lower offer letter than the one in the job posting. If you reject the offer letter because you are not satisfied with the terms in the offer letter and the employer reports the rejection of the offer letter to the UI office, it is unfair to you. To avoid getting involved with some of these employers, we recommend that you keep the following in evidence.
↓
● Print out the terms and conditions in the job posting
● Record the full name and position of the interviewer
● Record audio data during interviews and phone calls
● Save offer letters and emails

The above are The above can be an important source of persuasion for later submission to the UI office to regain eligibility for unemployment insurance. Also, with this evidence, the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, which has pro bono attorneys, can assist you in reporting bad employers to the Department of Labor.

This is America.

The news seems to be that from May 30, we will have to apply to at least 3 workplaces as a condition for receiving UI, but for those who already work part time or short time, it will be a big burden and high hurdle to find 3 companies while working ？ Some of us are still working exactly 5 days a week with short time. There are people who are still working 5 days a week with short hours. If such people have to apply for 3 companies with the same conditions, it is likely that there will be people in the future who will have to work 7 days a week without a day off to meet the conditions for receiving UI. Also, some people with children may only be able to work remotely due to summer vacations. There may be people who have been doing the same job for a long time and cannot do other jobs due to their age or physical strength. ？ Hawaii has many people involved in tourism, so it will be an advantage for employers who want people who can speak Japanese ？ Desired Some people may not even be able to find a company they want to apply to because there are no positions available or the hourly wage does not match their expectations. I feel that Governor Ige's announcement to change the conditions for receiving UI in just 10 days is harsh.

↓
https://governor.hawaii.gov/newsroom/office-of-the-governor-job-search-requirement-to-be-reinstated-for-unemployment-recipients/

It seems that those who have been completely laid off will be covered from May 30. Based on the official announcement, it is likely that this includes those who have been laid off completely and are now working part time for another company.

It appears that those who will continue to be exempt from job search will be those who have been temporarily laid off, have shorter hours, or are PUAs.

Although this appears to be a sudden official announcement, Governor Ige had previously stated at a press conference that he intends to withdraw the exemption from job search activities in the near future.

From what he has said at the press conference so far, we believe that Governor Ige, who has been focusing on tourism for the Japanese since before Corona, has been waiting for the return of Japanese tourists for a long time. However, with the vaccine situation in Japan not improving, and the growing shortage of human resources at various companies in Hawaii, I feel that he has made a difficult decision this time.

registration on Hirenet was mandatory.
If you submitted your resume and did not get an interview, you still had to APPLY once.

were you rehired as part time rather than full time ？ according to the Handbook, part time is not "Partial Claims （ shorter hours ）" but "Part- Total Claims" （ page 7 ）.

I think the development will depend on whether the employer made Mercury a "Full-time" or "Part-time" status when they rehired her.

If you were given shorter hours as a full-time status and you have "Partial Claims" in your UI account, you are not subject to Job search, but if you started as a part-time hire and have filed a part-time labor report However, if you started out as a part-time hire and are submitting part-time labor reports, it is likely that you will be subject to Job search. You could double check with your employer about that and then talk to the call center. I have a hunch that if you explain the situation to your employer about this official announcement, they will cooperate fully with you so that you will not be in trouble ？.

Greetings to all of you who are resuming your job search.

This may seem like a basic question, but
You are saying that part time is not acceptable for re-employment and that it must be full time ？

With the Hawaii economy not yet fully recovered, I am concerned about how many companies are still hiring full time. I am concerned about how many companies are looking for full time positions.

I think explaining it in writing will confuse you further Mr. Kame. I think you should ask your colleagues.

[Joint Press Conference]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has summarized the contents of yesterday's joint press conference between Governor Ige and UI Director Anne, and we excerpt the important parts （ ① through ⑦ ）.

① Job Search report submissions will begin with weekly filings ending June 5

② The rule for submitting Job Search reports in weekly filings is that if you submit the same report in the following week that you submitted in the previous week, you will be required to submit the same report in the following week.

③ Only those who are totally unemployed （ Laidoff ） are eligible for Job Search. Those who are Temporary Layoff （ Furlough ）, Short-Term （ Partial Claims ）, or in a union with job placement services are not eligible for Job Search
↑
. sunset comment:
As stated in Governor Ige's official announcement letter, it appears that the condition for Job Search exemption is that you are enrolled in a job where you once worked as a full time employee. In other words, those who are working part-time （ Part-total Claims ） after being totally unemployed from their full-time jobs or who were totally unemployed part-time due to the Corona impact are likely to be eligible for Job Search.

④ Job Search includes "registering on Hirenet", "researching jobs", "submitting a resume", and "getting an interview"
↑
sunset comment:
In short. I think the nuance is that if you are able to complete and submit the three job search activities through the above steps, you are OK. The information provided by those who wrote in #227 and #228 of this topic is also very helpful. Also, it is very likely that the UI office will check whether you are registered with Hirenet or not, so please register immediately.

⑤ Failure to show up for an interview with a company will disqualify you from unemployment insurance, and the UI Office will use the Job Search reports submitted by unemployment insurance recipients to investigate each company
↑
sunset Comment:
According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, there used to be a number of unemployment insurance recipients who would engage in this type of intentional behavior. The UI office is following up on the labor report impersonation illegal activity, and will be following up on this one as well, so be sure to go to the interview if you are called for one.

⑥ New website hawaiiunemploymentinfo will be updated with information for employers and unemployment insurers

sunset comment:
link to It will be here.

⑦ "RESEA" and "Quality Control" as part of Job Search requirements Assessment" are also included

sunset comment:
The process is for those called by the UI office to respond. For more information, please read #965 for RESEA and #789 for Quality Control Assessment in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 Week Extension Program" Topic.


In the end, it is not easy to submit a Job Search Report in Hawaii, a small island with an overwhelming number of jobs in English-speaking countries.

However, hotels, bus companies, and tour companies that are reopening their doors to mainland tourists must be looking ahead to the eventual return of Japanese tourists. Even if at first glance, the job does not recruit Japanese staff, if you can show that you can speak Japanese, you may be able to catch their attention among the resumes of English-speaking applicants who are pouring in.

Some employers abuse their authority, so please read #216 in this topic carefully and be careful not to get involved.

If you are not confident about submitting this Job Search report, we strongly recommend that you do not worry about it alone, but share information with your fellow former colleagues and help each other.

Those who have been temporarily laid off or had their hours shortened may not be alone. The longer the Corona problem in Japan drags on, the more employers who are having difficulty maintaining operations in Hawaii may further reduce labor costs or go bankrupt. With this in mind, we recommend that you keep an eye on the new rules that the UI office is putting in place, as we have seen in this case.

If I see a Job Fair that you recommend, I will post it in this topic. Please try to help each other by sharing information if you have any.

I wrote to you the other day
but I would like to mention it again.

Hello.
I was wondering if you could tell me if you know anything about this.

This is about a colleague of mine, and I have been wondering about this
for a long time, so if anyone can help me, please let me know.

I worked at a hotel and was laid off in June.
Today I got a call from the hotel where my colleague was laid off and
they offered me a barista position ？ to come.
（ His previous position was housekeeper. ）
He turned it down because he was offered a completely different and totally unknown position.

Will this hinder his UI in the future ？

I understand that at Farlow, if you turn down a job, your UI is rejected, but
once you are laid off and turn down a job in a completely different department from the same hotel
Will it affect my UI ？

Please help.

This is just my personal opinion, but as long as you have not applied to that hotel for job placement assistance, it would not affect your unemployment insurance.

In past cases, people who turned down or ignored offer letters after submitting a Resume, ignored interview dates, or did not show up for interviews were reported to the UI office by the employer and their unemployment insurance was voided.

Last year, the larger companies tended to report to the UI Office, but the UI Office is calling on each company now more than ever, so we expect to see more small companies in the future.

I have always been helped by this site.
Especially sunset your information has helped me many times. Thank you very much.

I am currently working on unemployment insurance after the company I was working for laid me off and I found a new part time job.
I wonder if my situation is still eligible for the job search ？
I know that it starts from the end of June 5, but if I don't start looking for a job next week, I won't be able to meet the claim on June 5.
If I submit a job application through indeed or Vivinavi, how do I submit a report?
I asked this question because I don't know how to report or what to do next.

"I am currently working while receiving unemployment insurance after the company I worked for laid off me and I found a new part time job. Am I still eligible for job search ？?"
↑
Yes. Governor Ige and Anne commented that the only people who are exempt from job search are those who are enrolled in a job where they used to work full time.

Originally "unemployment insurance" was a benefit to help people live until they found full time work. After Corona, "unemployment insurance" was given a special exemption from job search, but this time it was a return to the pre-Corona unemployment insurance rules.

"How do I report if I submitted an application through indeed or Vivinavi Job Search?"
↑
I think the process is to fill out the form as described in #232 of this topic. I don't know how to enter 3 Job Search as I don't use a UI account right now and have never done a job search report, but I think the entry points will probably come up automatically in the weekly filing. Please share information with this Topic and other former colleagues on how to enter the information.

"Are you saying it doesn't matter if I look outside of Hirenet Hawaii?"
↑
Perhaps the UI office would like you to look for jobs through Hirenet first, but if you don't see a job you want, it is fine to look elsewhere. As for Hirenet, it is very likely that the UI office will check to see if you are registered.

Dear Sunset

I was working part time and was receiving unemployment insurance after being laid off due to the closing of my office in Corona. Since the beginning of the year, the office has partially reopened and I am working shorter hours. Will I still lose my unemployment insurance if I don't find a job?

Also, one of the questions in my weekly report asks
Have you looked for work ？
How many ？
Do you have a record ？
and I answer
Yes , 3+ , Yes.
is this a system problem ？
can you please tell me ？

Kai,
To those of you working only part time,

please read through ① through ③ below.

① Please re-read the excerpts from Gov. Ige's formal announcement at the link in this Topic #228 （ If you have not yet read the full formal announcement, please be sure to read it for yourself ）.
↓
The reinstated job search requirement applies to individuals who have lost their full-time jobs and are on regular unemployment Individuals who are still attached to their regular full-time employer, are members of a union that provides job placement services, or are receiving Individuals who are still attached to their regular full-time employer, are members of a union that provides job placement services, or are receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits are not mandated by law to meet the job search

It states that those who are exempt from Job Search are "enrolled in a workplace where they worked full time," "are members of a union that provides job placement services, or are receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA ) benefits are not mandated by law to meet the job search requirement. It appears that people other than these are eligible for Job Search.

If those who are unemployed part time and receiving unemployment insurance were also exempt from Job Search, they would have been clearly stated in Governor Ige's formal announcement statement and in the joint press conference, but there was no comment at all.

② Please also read the "Part-total Claims" section on page 7 of the Handbook. Part-total Claims" refers to those who work only part time. It says that you need to report your appliers in your weekly filing.
↓
https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/files/2018/11/UI-Benefits-Handbook-UC-266-Rev-3.4.19.pdf

Part-time until now It seems that the unemployment insurance was a special measure by Corona to provide unemployment insurance to those who were unemployed, and this time it is a return to the pre-Corona unemployment insurance rules.

③ Perhaps this section will be "input required" for those eligible for Job Search starting with the weekly filing ending June 5.
↓
Did you look for work ？
How many did you contact ？
Do you keep the record ？

Corona Special While everyone was exempted from Job Search due to the measure, the three questions above seemed to appear unnecessarily （ The reason they appeared unnecessarily was because the UI system was out of date ）. Perhaps the UI Office will upgrade the UI system and set the three questions from the weekly filing ending June 5.

That's all I have to say, but I think it's really hard to find aplicants to find a full time job while working part time in these times. As I suggested in #267 of this Topic, switching to part time work may be one way to make a living.

I was working part time 4 days a week, but was laid off from Corona and returned to the same job this year to work 2 days a week with on-call status and receive UI pay. Naturally, I will be required to look for 3 jobs starting 5/30, but I don't want to leave my current job and the company has told me they will put me back to my original schedule of 4 days a week once the office hours become normal. I would like to look for a part time job, but I am not sure if I can meet the 3 job requirement by looking for part time work ？ Also, even if I apply for 3 jobs and find a part time job, will I still be eligible for UI if I don't have enough to meet the WBA? ？ Or does it mean that if I find a job even if the salary is not enough to meet the WBA, the UI will stop ？ or do I need to continue my search for 3 more jobs ？ I don't understand the basics of the UI payment.

If anyone has actually been unemployed before Corona and has been job seeking three times a week, please let me know for reference.
First, you should print out the form （ https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/files/2012/12/UC-253_Record_of_Job_Contacts.pdf ） to keep a record of your job search
each week, and each week that ？
You said that the timing of submission is random, but how many times have you been asked to submit the form in how long you have been job searching ？
And what is the method of submission? ？
Of course, things are different now than they were then, so I don't think it's exactly the same, but I simply wanted to hear from people who have done this job search before.
If anyone would like to share their story, please do.

We will start a new topic "Job Search Activities and Report Submission", so please move your questions and concerns about Job Search to the new topic.

I know you have questions and doubts about Job Search activities, but I and others are not sure about anything other than what has been officially announced.

Please ask the call center on your own first, and then share their advice with each other in the new Topic to reconfirm the accuracy of their advice.

As you all know, the problem of disjointed advice from call centers has been highlighted since last year due to the lack of functioning information sharing between UI directors and call center sites in the past. Please ask the call center on your own first, and then provide information to each other in the new Topic.

Also, whether the process will be the same as the pre-Corona Job Search submission method, or whether the system will be upgraded to the new submission method, we will know when the daily filing for the June 5 deadline begins.

Also, people with short or part-time work income since they first applied for unemployment insurance have shared examples of the PEUC extension process in this topic, which you can read as examples.

It is not impossible that the UI office will make a new official announcement, so we recommend that you voluntarily check the press releases as well.

Hi all, I don't know if this is the right topic here, but I'm not eligible for Job Search, so I'm asking here.
I am in Furlough, so I am not eligible for the job search that starts in June, but I happen to know someone who is looking for someone who can teach Japanese now $ I was asked if I could teach once a week for 20.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I thought I would respond with the intention of helping out in any way I can, but in this case I should report that I received $ 20 as salary when I apply for UI ？

PEUC 11 week extension Program （ Second PEUC ） As far as the topic in #389 is concerned, you will be paid if your income does not exceed $150. So I am not worried about it, but since I have been pending for almost 6 months, I am afraid that even a little thing now will stop me from changing it from what I have been doing. However, I want to be in compliance with the law, so I think I should file even a small amount, but is this a problem if I choose residual pay, commissions, and deductible income rather than salary, or more where I work ？
?
I know this is a small thing, but I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to comply with the law without being dishonest.

Merci,

In the last case, as officially announced at the time, I received an email from the UI office and the process was to submit a second Initial Application.

However, there was a strange situation that occurred after the first time I applied for unemployment insurance, where I was automatically extended without receiving an email, even though I had part-time or short-time work income. Glitches in the UI system were also frequent.

All I can say at this point is that we will not know about the "June → September extension switchover" until it actually starts, so we will have to work with the examples shared by many people on this topic.

If you encounter a situation that is not mentioned in the examples, please ask the call center to look into it immediately.

To everyone starting a part time or on-call job,

① First confirm with the employer which type of employment （ part-time or on-call ） they will hire Koha for

*Because when updating new employer information in the UI system, you must select an employment type. ↓

↓
③ Update new employer information by filing Reactivate a Claim the day after you submit your weekly filing

④ New employer information will automatically appear in your weekly filing.
*If it appears, the update is complete
↓
⑤ After the employer submits Koha's labor report to the UI office, the UI office will review the weekly filing for that week. and if there are no problems, approve and deposit

-Note -
If an employer has never filed an employee labor report with the UI office, they need to read the Employer Handbook to learn the how-to's and register for an account in the UI system before You will need to register for an account in the UI system. If the employer has already registered for an account and has submitted labor reports for other employees in the past, then they are familiar with the how-to and should have no problem at all.

Employer Handbook:

Employer Q&A:

Finally. If you are an under-the-table employer, we do not recommend that you take the job because your weekly filing will eventually lead to an investigation by the tax bureau against your employer for illegal activities, and Koha will be involved. We also strongly recommend that you read the rules in the handbook for employees.

p.s.

We are reminding you again of the following arrangements ① and ② as we believe there are many people who will be "switching PEUC from June to September" this month in June.


① For those who have had "short-time", "part-time", or "on-call" work income since they first applied for unemployment insurance
↓
Within one week after the Benefit Year End expires, the UI office will send you an email reminding you to submit your The account balance for the September extension will be automatically added to the account before or after the Benefit Year End expiration date changes to "September Extension".

-Notes-
*If you do not receive an email after a week, please contact the call center （ Please also double check your junk mail folder ） .

*If you do not receive an email and the Benefit Year End expiration date is automatically switched to September extension and a new account balance for the September extension is automatically added, do nothing and leave it as it is.

*In the Initial Application, please make sure to enter the correct information, especially the official name of the company you work for and your Social Security Number （ because the UI office system uses the company name and SSN to calculate your past earnings to calculate your WBA. ）.

*If your WBA after submitting the Initial Application is lower than your current WBA by $25 or more, your current WBA will continue. If the WBA increases by many times in increments of $100, it is clearly a mistake on the part of the UI office, as it is not possible under the past income calculation. Please have the call center correct it as soon as possible to avoid being treated as Overpayment later on.

*If you submit an Initial Application but the extension is not changed to September extension, there is a possibility of overpayment, so please ask the call center to check whether or not you have overpayment.

② Those who have never worked and have no earnings since they first applied for unemployment insurance
↓
Benefit Year End automatically switches to September extension within one week after the expiration of Benefit Year End. End expiration date is automatically added to the account balance for the September extension before or after the September extension expires.

-Note-
*If your account does not automatically switch to September Extension after one week, please contact the call center.

*If you receive an email from the UI office, there is a glitch on the UI office side, please do not submit an Initial Application and ask the call center to correct the glitch.

*If your application has not been automatically extended to September even after a week has passed, there is a possibility of overpayment, so please ask the call center to check whether or not you have overpayment.


In the above, you should wait for one week after the Benefit Year End expires. Also, please note that there is a possibility that a new pattern of glitch on the UI office side may occur, which did not happen in April of this year. Many people in this topic have shared examples of when they switched from "April to June" or "April to September" this April. It is very helpful, so please read through the examples before proceeding.

Scam Calls

We believe that there will be more Scam Calls in the future, so we are sharing this with you as soon as possible.

According to information provided by a locator today, a person claiming to be a PEUC program staff member at the UI Director's office called at a blocked number and said, "We found your Overpayment. Please give me your bank account information so that I can debit your Overpayment.

This is definitely Scam.

UI office personnel do not ask for bank account information over the phone. Of course they will not ask for your social security number either. Please be careful not to give any personal information to anyone over the phone, no matter what they ask.

To spot a Scam, try asking questions that can only be answered by UI office personnel, such as "What is my UI account balance today ？? （ because the real UI office personnel have immediate access to the UI system, which contains data on all the beneficiaries ）.

Genuine UI office personnel may also call you at a blocked number. In that case, it is safe to say that we will not ask for any personal information.

Can anyone who has started working part time and completed the reactive claim please share how you did it? I have been calling the call center all day today, but I can't get through …

Also, one more point: I entered the name of my new employer on the file claim certification on 6/20 with a different name than the one officially registered with them.
I entered the name of the DBA I entered the address and phone number as it is officially registered. if I can do reactive claim, I think it will be ok ？ but I still can't enter the reactive claim.
If anyone else has a similar problem, could you please share how you handled it. Best regards.

To add new employer information, select "Add Employer to Claim" instead of "Report a Separation with an Employer".

Enter the last date worked for this employer. For example, if you worked for this employer yesterday, you can enter yesterday's date.

You cannot correct the weekly filing you have already submitted later, and we strongly recommend that you contact the UI office to have it corrected directly now to avoid complications later due to a discrepancy with the employer information in your Reactivate a Claim application.

In the past, when the employment information was entered incorrectly, the UI office system was not able to accurately pick up the employer information and the individual's past earnings, and the individual received an unemployment insurance letter with a WBA of zero.

A person who always provides me with information in a timely manner shared a tip with me and I share it below.

When we and our former co-workers who have not had any work income since we first applied for unemployment insurance received the "File an Initial Claim" email in March of this year, and contacted the UI office, it appears that some UI office staff were not aware of Glitch. When some of our former colleagues contacted the UI office in March of this year to file an Initial Claim, some UI office staff were not aware of Glitch. They told them, "If you received the email, file an Initial Claim" without checking it out.

In other words, depending on how you tell the UI office, it could go one of two ways.

The first development is that when I contacted the UI office, I told them that I had received an email to File an Initial Claim application. When I filed a File an Initial Claim application as instructed, the UI account froze （ pending ） status even after filing biweekly.

The second development was that I did not File an Initial Claim even though I received the email. And successfully got a PEUC extension; didn't mention the email to the UI office, just told them that the Benefit Year End expired.

Therefore, it would be better to keep the following two points in mind when contacting the UI office.
↓
① Do not tell them that you have received a File an Initial Claim email

② Only tell them that the Benefit Year End expired

As an aside, he used an appointment-based online consultation rather than calling the UI office.

The person who provided this information told me that the email said "Filing a new regular unemployment claim before July 4, 2021 will cause issues and delay your claim. So, I think it would be better to do nothing until July 4 and wait for the expiration of the Benefit Year End. I agree.

Thank you ●●●● for sharing this valuable information. I will share it with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team.

Aloha ！ nice to meet you.
I have been looking in on you from time to time. I would like to draw my case.
I lost my job at the end of June 2020 or managed to receive Unemployment. It was not smooth at this time either.
I received everything and applied for PEUC on 12/15/20, but nothing happened, no automatic email.
I then called and when I got through, I was told to wait because it was over payment and they would call me later, but I never got the call.
I called again in February. I called again in February, and was told that it was not over payment and that I should answer all calls, but no call came.
The third time I called, they said they would call me later with overpayment $ 540, but they never did. Then I heard that my daughter's friend's mother had overpayment and sent a check for overpayment to a special activity and it was deposited in one lump sum.
I heard that I could book a ZOOM meeting in June, so I did. I also requested a Japanese interpreter.I was able to make a reservation for July 1. I anxiously waited for a month and today, the day before, I received a reminder email followed by a cancellation email. Tears. The email was for me to call them, but I called them 3 times already, and I lost confidence because I never received a call back. I'm at my wit's end already ？ that they can't handle it unless it's the person above ？.
I've been trying for 7 months without Unemployment and I may be at my limit.
What should I do ？
I know it's hard, but let's work hard together.
Thank you for reading this.

As for overpayment, please refer to the "PEUC not yet approved" topic, where many people have shared examples and tips.

"Then when the third call was connected overpayment $ 540 they said they would call me later but they never did. Then I heard that my daughter's friend's mother had overpayment and sent a check for overpayment to a special activity and it was deposited in one lump sum, so I got impatient and sent a check for $ 540 to the destination address, but nothing happened."

In the past, we have had cases where a check was sent unilaterally and not accepted before the UI office had received payment instructions via phone or email or a letter in the mail.

"I heard that I could book a ZOOM meeting in June. I also requested a Japanese interpreter; I was able to book for July 1. I anxiously waited a month, and today, the day before, I received a reminder email followed by a cancellation email."

Overpayment is subject to final approval by the Examiner and Adjuster. The online consultation service is not available for Overpayment Consultation. Please read #3 in the "Regarding PUA Backdating" Topic for your reference.

Please note that the information sharing between the call center staff （ and the non-examiner staff ） and the top management is not working, so the advice is not always the same.

I never worked during my UI entitlement period but received paid time, so I received an email to file an INITIAL claim after 7/4.
I was told that this was a glitch, so I looked at it first, and after the benefit year expired on 6/30, it was not automatically extended and I called the office today, one week after it expired. I called the office and told them that I did not receive the email as Sunset advised, but only that the expiration date would not be extended.
After confirming that I was still employed, had never worked there, etc., I was told "I'm going to check with the supervisor now, and when it's approved, you'll see it on the dashboard" I checked about an hour later and it had been successfully extended until September. I really shouldn't have said anything as I was never asked if I had received an email with the initial claim. Also, I had called them before when my previous extension didn't go smoothly, and they asked me for the amount and date of the pay I received. So I had that information ready this time as well, but this time they didn't mention the pay at all. But I think it is better to be able to answer the questions when you call. By the way, the second time the phone was busy, I was put on hold and had to wait 45 minutes to speak with them. I guess it really depends on timing too. I posted this in the hope that it would be helpful.

I took it that you were asking about paid vacation and bonus income.

I can't answer your question because you didn't explain exactly what kind of income you are talking about, but as far as I can tell from the March → June PEUC extension, the only glitch was that people who had never worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance and had paid vacation and bonus income received an email reminder to File an Initial The only glitch was that those who had not worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance and had earned paid vacation and bonuses received an email reminder to file an Initial Claim.

ringo,

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable information.

So the UI office came to check your paid vacation income back in March, but did not check it this time? My personal speculation is that the staff may have already understood the glitch that could have caused a File an Initial Claim email to be sent to those who had not worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance and had paid vacation income. Or, the staff may have been instructed by upper management to remove the check from the checklist.

"I did not tell them that I had received the email as Sunset advised, only that the deadline would not be extended."

I have received many questions on another topic about how to enter Started Day and Last Worked Day, so I will note them in this topic.

One of the purposes of filing an Initial Claim is for the UI office system to calculate the WBA based on the applicant's past earnings. In other words, the salary received for substantial work at the job is the key point.

Started Day
Enter the date you started at the job

Last Worked Day
Enter the date you last worked at the job
↑
（ Example ） For those with shorter hours, use yesterday's date if you worked yesterday; use today's date if you worked today.
（ Example ） If "Temporary Termination → 3 Months Work → Full Termination" then use the date you last worked during the 3 month period.

Sunset, thank you so much for your clear explanation. My benefit is until 6/30 and I have to file an initial claim because I have temporarily returned to work, but I filed for the ending week 7/3 as usual and it is now processed, but for the ending week 7/10, it is not processed as usual. Even if I could file, should I still file an initial claim ？ even if I call the UI and request an extension, it would be bad if they find out later that I have temporarily returned to work ？.

I have no work income since my Unemployment Insurance benefits, but after Layoff, my former employer paid me for my unused PTO (Paid Time Off) and Severance pay （ severance pay ）.
Claim expired 6/30 and then received File an Initial Claim email on 7/3.
I made an appointment with [Phone Reservation OAHU APPOINTMENTS] and spoke with a UI representative on the phone.
（ File an Initial Claim email was not mentioned. ）
I explained that I had not worked at any point, but they would not take it up.
"Just wait a couple of weeks for the Employer Service Department to contact your former employer to find out what was paid to you."
I was told that my former employer would be inquiring about the amount of money paid to me. I checked with my former employer, and the morning after this call, I received an inquiry from UI, and they told me that the Payroll representative would respond to UI one by one.
I asked about my former co-workers in the same situation, and the ones I spoke to on the phone with the UI were also contacted by their former employer.
However, for the ex-colleagues who did not take any action, they did not report anything to the UI because there was no inquiry from the UI.
This experience has shown me that the UI is now investigating one case at a time in response to inquiries for subjects like me, whose Claims were expired on 6/30 and who received a File an Initial Claim email.
I also found out that my former employer does not report to UI about subjects who have not been contacted by UI.
I am posting this in hopes that it will be of some help.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has shared this information with us, and we will share it with you as soon as possible. Some sentences have been rearranged slightly to the extent that the meaning of the content remains the same, because the nuance of some sentences would be different if translated directly. ① to ④
↓

① PEUC program, PUA program, FPUC （ $300 per week ） will end on September 4.

② Question
Benefit Year End expires in Sept. I have a balance after the Sept. 11th close, what happens to the balance ？

② Answer
In the Federal Congress Unless the unemployment insurance program is decided, all balances after the September 11 closing will be returned to the federal and state governments.

③ Question
What should I do when my Benefit Year End expires in September ？

③ Answer
Unless the unemployment insurance program is decided by the federal government Congress, I should file an Initial Claim in September. You will file an Initial Claim in September unless Congress decides on an unemployment insurance program. Then, if you have （ ＝ Wages ） in the last 18 months, from March 2020 to September 2021, you can calculate your WBA. Since the amount of past income （ ＝ Wages ） will depend on the amount of past income
Wages , it is only in the range of "possible" whether the WBA calculation can be done.
If you file an Initial Claim in September, the UI office will check past wages with the employer and also check if there are any unreported benefits. This means that the screening process will be even more detailed.

④ Question
Does Wages include "unemployment insurance" as well as "past earnings" ？

④ Answer
It does not include unemployment insurance. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you find a job before the PEUC extension program ends in September. If the unemployment insurance program is not decided by Congress, the job application rate will be higher in September. This would mean that your chances of finding a job will decrease as you get closer to September.

The share content is above.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team and I both speculate that we will likely return to pre-Corona unemployment insurance after September as the Corona subsides across the US.

For those who lost their jobs related to the Japanese tourist business, it will be very difficult until the airport rules are lifted in Japan.

Therefore, we recommend that those who are totally unemployed and living only on unemployment insurance take measures as soon as possible. Those who are temporarily unemployed or working shorter hours should reconfirm with their employers whether they will continue to be temporarily unemployed or working shorter hours after September, and take action as soon as possible.

We expect an official announcement from the UI Office around the end of August after the federal government's decision in Congress. Please check Congressional News and UI Office press releases voluntarily.

Please note that we cannot answer various questions since we only know the share contents （ ① to ④ ）.

The answers to the following questions will become clear only after the decision by the Congress of the Federal Government and after the official announcement from the UI Office. As every time, the official announcement will be made just before September （ The Unemployment Insurance Help Team and I feel that it is not a good idea to wait until the last minute for the official announcement ）.
↓
（ A ） If Congress does not decide on the unemployment insurance program, what exactly will the rules be for unemployment insurance after September ？ （ If we return to the pre-Corona unemployment insurance rules, the maximum payout is 26 weeks ）

（ B ） When filing an Initial Claim in September, if the Wages are not met and the WBA cannot be calculated, will unemployment insurance be denied ？

（ C ） I filed an Initial Claim application during the PEUC program and got a Benefit Year End deadline of 2022 and a new WBA. If I go back to the pre-Corona unemployment insurance rules in September, will I start receiving 26 weeks from the time I file that File an Initial Claim ？ or will I start receiving 26 weeks in September ？?

I've been anxious about my first unemployment insurance since last year, and your posts here, including sunset's, have saved me many times in both knowledge and feelings. Thank you very much.
This is my first time to write to you.

My online account has been approved for PEUC extension until September • After it was reflected, I received a letter from the UI office stating that I am "Ineligible" ？ Is there anyone who has received a similar letter?

I am ③ the same as sunset reminded me in #357.
[③ I have worked on a short-time, part-time, or fixed-term contract since I first applied for unemployment insurance （ I received an email urging me to File an Initial Claim ） This email is not a Glitch ]

After the expiration date at the end of June, as instructed in the original email, File an Initial Claim was filed after July 4, and a few days later the claim was successfully extended to September, and the payment has been received since then.

On my online account, the due date has been extended to September and the balance is reflected.
On the other hand, in the letter, it says that the income is not enough for the "Conventional Base Period" calculation, and that the "Alternative Base Period" may be eligible. On the other hand, the letter says that the income is not enough to calculate the "Conventional Base Period" and that the "Alternative Base Period" may be eligible, and both the weekly benefit and the entitlement are $ 0.
But in the MAXIMUM WEEKLY BENEFIT FOR 2021 column, it says the amount you are receiving now.
