If you haven't received it yet, don't be surprised.

There are many people coming up with Payment Information Not Available.

Possibly, it is not yet in process.

IRS says 85% of people are eligible. But
there are too many, so it's being delayed.

Almost all of those who received the first and second benefits will receive the third as well.

Don't worry, you will receive it.

I drank a Sakura Frappuccino ！ This year's is very berry-like.
The pink panna cotta is cute, but the sweet and sour raspberry flavor is a bit strong... Personally, I would like more cherry flavor ^^;

Candy,

"Should I file for 3/20 last week and #348 this week for 4/3?"
↑
If you work less than 40 hours per week or less than WBA, you should always file because unemployment insurance will be paid.

If your only purpose is to keep your UI account active, you should continue filing weekly even if you work more than 40 hours per week or WBA. The UI office system will display "Disqualified" immediately without waiting for a labor report from the employer, but you can keep your UI account active.

But there is a concern. The unemployment insurance help team told me that in the first half of last year there were many cases where UI accounts were automatically suspended if they were not touched for several months, but now they are not seeing any such cases at all. I certainly have not seen any such cases recently. I think that maybe the UI system has been upgraded and no longer stops automatically. But only the UI office can tell if that is true.

Back on topic, filing weekly may be a hassle, but I think it would be safer in the long run to continue filing weekly until Hawaii reopens in earnest and the employer makes a final decision that there will be no suspension or dissolution.

Mr. sunset
good evening

thank you for your response.
I have one question for confirmation.

"If you work less than 40 hours per week or less than your WBA, you should definitely file for unemployment insurance."
You explained that
my interpretation from your posts and
the handbook was that
"less than 40 hours per week and less than WBA"
......
If one of them is less than the other, would they receive ？




"Back on topic, filing every week may be a hassle, but until Hawaii is back in full swing and the employer has made a final determination that there is "no closure or dissolution", the weekly filing will continue. However, until Hawaii reopens in earnest and the employer makes a final decision that there will be no closure or dissolution, I think it would be safer in the long run to continue filing weekly."

I agree with this statement by sunset.
The company doesn't think that far ahead, and
if you don't have the correct knowledge and understanding on your own,
it will be you who will be in trouble when the time comes.
So, the information from everyone here helps me a lot.
Thank you.

Candy,

You will be Disqualified if you are either one of these, and the reason for being Disqualified will appear in the Details section as follows.

If you received labor income in excess of your WBA:
REPORTED EARNINGS OF $ ●● IS GREATER THAN YOUR WEEKLY BENEFIT AMOUNT OF $ ●●.

WORKED MORE THAN 40 HOURS WEEKLY:
WORKED 40 HOURS OR MORE

In other words, if you worked less than 40 hours per week but more than your WBA, you are disqualified. Also, if you earn less than your WBA but work more than 40 hours per week, you will be disqualified.

Mr. SUNSET

I still think that if neither of them is less than the stipulation, there is no payment.
Thank you.

So, I'd like to ask you to please read this,
I logged in this morning to file for the 3/27 deadline, and
after entering the hours worked, I was asked if I had a new job, and I answered yes, and then
I was asked to enter the name and phone number of the company. I was asked to enter the company name and phone number.
I knew for sure that it was a layoff application.
I went ahead and filed it as is
I stopped halfway through because I didn't know if I would have to
Reactivate it after tomorrow in the same vein as in #170,#171, and I haven't filed it yet.

If anyone has experienced this,
if you don't mind, could you please share the input you did at that time and the flow after that?
Thanks in advance.

Candy,

Just for the record.

In past topics （ last spring ）, those who made the mistake of entering the status of "fully terminated" or "temporarily terminated" on the Initial Application immediately contacted the UI Office within 3 months.

The response from the UI Office at that time was one of the following.
● Direct correction
● Reactivate a Claim application to change status

Since it is rare to change status after one year, it is possible that there is no one who would share this on this topic. Also, with the upgrade of the UI system, the advice from the call center has changed a little compared to last year.

The safest course of action is to check with the call center for the latest method.

I am calling the unemployment insurance office to let you know that my call has been connected. I am considering a temporary return to Japan after mid-April. I have already issued my airline ticket, so I contacted the unemployment insurance office to that effect.
After about 25 calls, I got through, and from there I was put on hold for about 40 minutes with music playing, then I was connected to a person in charge.

At that time, I told them that I needed to return to Japan for the I-94 and I told them why and for how long.
"You can't apply when you are not in Hawaii, and you can apply when you come back and are ready to apply.
"Even so, there are some people who have not been able to get it, so I am contacting them just in case. Don't you need to send an email too ？?" to which I replied
"I'll make a note of it anyway, so you don't need to email me either." He said.

Still somewhat incredulous, I am thinking of sending an email with a copy of my airline ticket and passport as an attachment, just in case.
I'm not sure which one is true, since different people say different things, so I'm thinking I'd better be careful.


I hope this helps.

Noko,

Thanks for sharing.

It seems true that different staff members say different things.

In a past Topix share, someone gave me an advice that I couldn't believe my ears, "You can file weekly from Japan. （ Filing from Japan comes with a Red Flag and will not be paid until you explain it to the UI office and they agree ）.

Also, some people have had the UI office call or email them and ask why when they re-file after a long gap.

One case that was particularly suspicious to me was a case that was filed long after the Corona lockdown. The UI office was unable to determine exactly whether they had returned to Hawaii from out of state and illegally filed for their out-of-state stay, or whether they just found out later how to apply for unemployment insurance and filed late and paid （ The federal government has been instructed to investigate informally. I think ） .

Now that it's been a year since the Corona lockdown, there are not many such opaque filings, so I guess there are fewer cases where things get complicated.

I think you don't have to send me copies of your airline tickets and passport, since you seem to have kept them in your UI account records. If you are really concerned, try sending them.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I told them the same thing when I was connected before the last time, and I called again this time to confirm, but
I was still told that no record was taken and no particular schedule for returning to Japan was written.

Therefore, I am thinking of sending an e-mail to them just in case, since there have been three times in the past when I told them that I would write it down properly, but it was not written down.
I hope they keep good records, but in the past, I was told that there was no record of it anywhere, even though I called them about 8 times and we were connected.
I don't know how much of this is true, so I'd better be careful.

So I have become skeptical. If you really keep a record of your mail, I don't think I need to send you an email.


But some people give outrageous advice like you can apply from Japan.
It may be hard to give the same explanation to everyone, but it would be meaningless to make the same phone call.

I will let you know if there is any progress after my return.
I am relieved to hear that there seems to be no problem for a month or so.

Thank you so much for your always accurate advice.

Noko,

I see that some people note at the call center and some don't. I am having a hard time with this. I will share this with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team. I think it would be okay if you save your passport and a copy of your round trip airline ticket so that when you get back to Hawaii, if you don't expect to hear from the UI office, you can always give them a copy.

[Weekly filing after returning to Hawaii from out of state]

File a Claim Certification on a weekly basis, not a daily basis.

For one week, you will start with the week in which you can answer "YES" to the question "Are you available for work?" in the State of Hawaii.

If your schedule is to take the PCR test in Japan and arrive in Hawaii on a Saturday, it will be easier to file for a week starting the following Sunday.

PS:
This is the end of my posts on this topic.

If it's an electric pressure cooker, there's no such thing nowadays as one without a timer. （ lol ） when are you talking about
you don't know the basics, let alone English

＃ 6
I watched the video.　If the meat is that small, you could probably do it in a little over an hour
I'm talking about when you make a large portion roast beef to serve at a small party or something that would fit the 4Q that the Lord is talking about.　If you're making it with the slow cook function, I usually give it at least 5 hours.
If you do it in the oven, it takes less than 3 hours

What do you want to make ？?

Braised meat on the bone(豚), with beans.
Personally, I don't like to eat this menu. But Americans eat it a lot. Also, WORKING MOTHER often uses slow cooker. In the morning, I poke in the food for stew and set it.
Ready to Eat is convenient when I get home.
I used to do chili beans. But for both, I sauté the meat ahead of time. The chili can be done quickly, but if you have a large family and eating times vary, the slow cooker is convenient because it's always hot!
