Thank you for starting a new topic as I requested in another topic.

I was accepting a limited number of questions regarding the new starting Job Search, but since I am not currently using a UI account and the UI system is being upgraded daily without my knowledge, I am unable to answer your questions accurately. I am not currently using a UI account and the UI system is being upgraded daily without my knowledge. Please take a few days to read through the following topics, as you will find most of the answers and hints in the following topics. This will save you the trouble of asking duplicate questions on the topics and calling the call center. It is a huge amount of information, but if you have trouble reading it, please follow the process of asking questions directly to the call center.

"PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 week extension program" Topic
"PEUC 11 week extension program （ PEUC 2nd ）" Topic
"PEUC September extension program （ PEUC 3rd ） Topic

Back on topic, there is no need to contact the UI office. Then file weekly for 3 weeks. Please be assured that your unemployment insurance eligibility will not be voided because you filed weekly for a 5-day work week.

You can proceed with the following timeline.
↓
① You will be in a 5-day work week pattern
↓
② File weekly
↓
③ Your 5-day work week will show Disqualified The Details section will show "Reported earnings of $ ●●● is greater than your weekly benefit amount of $ ●●●" or "Worked 40 hours or more". If Disqualified is displayed, no $300 weekly benefit for that week
↓
④ Return to 3-day work week pattern
↓
⑤ Weekly filing of short-time labor earnings

Mr. SUNSET

Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy schedule to reply so quickly.
I almost made the mistake of choosing not to file a claim. Thank you for your help. I will continue to refer to the list of questions you have been accumulating for some time.
Thank you so much for all your help.

K,

You may or may not file weekly for a 5-day work week, but I have advised you to file because there were far more instances where filing was perfectly acceptable.

This is off topic, but I studied abroad in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. There were a lot of illegal people there. I understand that there were a lot of illegal people back then, but there are people like that even now.
I wonder if those who were here illegally in the past are doing well now...

Dear maimai

After logging in, I was told that there is a Reactivate a Claim section and I can change it there
↑
I opened it, but I could not find the place to change it.

It was designed to answer various questions, but I couldn't find anything to change Laid off to Furlough.

Thank you for your valuable information.
I have been trying to contact the UI to change my application to Furlough, which I had mistakenly submitted as Laid off, but I have been having trouble getting through.
If you could please tell me the steps to change from the Reactivate a Claim section.
Thank you very much.

UI appointments can be booked on the web for available dates and times, and you can choose between Zoom or phone support.
You could also choose whether to have an interpreter.
http://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/oahu-appointments/

You have to check the site frequently to get a reservation, as there are only pinpoint availability.
Also, when you make a reservation, there is a place to enter your name, date of birth, SSN, and what kind of case it is, so I recommend that you make your questions in advance as it is a memo function. A friend of mine was booked by someone else while he was going through this process.

Reactivate has various questions, and if you proceed, you will find a section called Reason for Separation,
in which you can change the status. You can change the status in that section.
The first question "Please select why you are reactivate your claim" I was told to select Add Employer to claim.
Then you will be asked to fill in your employer's information in the questionnaire.

I just went through the process a few days ago and I'm not sure if I can claim successfully, but I'm going to give it a few days and contact UI if needed again.

I called the call center today.
I was not told to Reactivate a claim.
Maybe it was because I told them I was going back in June on a shortened schedule.
They asked me when I last spoke to the Employer and I told them it was 2 days ago and they said
they would check with the Employer and call me back.
The call center just called back and said that the supervisor had changed it to Furlough.
One thing that will bother Employer is that I started getting UI benefits for switching to Furlough
Employer needs to submit a Low earninsgs report from last March to the present.

In my case, they changed it with UI, so I think that if you are going to change to Furlough, you should
call them before you Reactivate a claim at your own discretion.

For your information.

I found this on the Job Search website. It appears that there is a way to have the employer submit the form documents.

WHAT ACTIONS DO I TAKE IF I AM STILL ATTACHED TO MY EMPLOYER BUT I AM ASKED THE WORK QUESTIONS WHEN I FILE MY CLAIM CERTIFICATIONS?

If you are still attached to a full-time employer, please ask your employer to submit a UC-348 - Verification of Partial Unemployment Status form. Only your employer can submit the UC-348 form. The UI staff will review each UC-348 and change your claim status if necessary. Instructions for your employer on how to submit the UC-348 form can be found here:

https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/instructions-for-submitting-uc-348-form/

However, since the weekly filing due June 5 is coming up next week, I think it would be quicker to contact the call center with Mercury's arrangement rather than waiting too long to review the form documents.

It's a very difficult question, isn't it? If you are preparing to take an entrance exam in Japan, I think it would be better for you to stay in Japan.
Some people say, "They are children and they will learn English quickly," but I think you should be prepared that it will still take some effort and parents will have to help their children with their homework.

I was surprised to find that many local schools present from elementary school. The teachers are kind and supportive, but I still think the kids have a hard time at school. As a parent, I would like to do something for them, but I have no idea what to do when I look at the local school's homework.

I assume you need an ITIN to do a tax return, in which case you can attach a W-7 and they will issue you a number.

ITIN application is basically ＜ not possible ＞ alone. （ Exceptions include being a member of an LLC, etc. ） Attached to a tax return.


Simply put, 100% of ITINs are issued to anyone who needs one.　Even accountants can't do W-7's on your behalf unless they are registered AA's or CAA's.

Dear tax man
I have a flight question.
I am sorry to bother you, but I would be grateful if you could enlighten me.
A friend of mine is working at a certain place on OPT. I understand from my limited knowledge that Medicare and SS tax are not deducted from her paycheck while she is on OPT, but when I asked her to show me her pay stubs, she was sure they were deducted. She can still get a refund since she has been there for a few months now, but they have been hiring OPTs there for 10 years now and have been deducting Medicare and SS all along. Most of the kids have already returned home and were working there without such knowledge.
Can I report such a case to the IRS and have it audited ？
I hope there is a penalty or something if possible because it is a very, very black company.
I would be happy to hear from you.

Please refer to the following answers to your questions.

Do OPT's have to pay FICA ߋ(Social Security Tax and Medicare Taxes) ？

Students on CPT, OPT, STEM OPT are exempt from FICA Taxes (Social Security and Medicare Taxes).
In other words, you don't have to pay FICA taxes on your paycheck.
Some employers would deduct those taxes from your paycheck.
But, you can get a refund on FICA taxes from the IRS.
This guide will walk you through the instructions and additional details. https://www.happyschools.com/opt-exempt-fica-taxes/

BibiNavi circa 2004-2008
Questions about taxes include why the OPT payment to Social Security is
deducted from OPT payments ？. These days, the number of international students has decreased
significantly, so the question is not asked as often, but at the time, we frequently answered it.

Why is Social Security deducted from the OPT salary ？

One has to do with the forms you submit for employment. If you are a US resident
when you are hired, you will file a W-4 or W-9 form. However, the W-9 is a form for
U.S. residents, while an OPT on an F-1 visa is not a U.S. resident but only a
"foreign national" by definition of an F visa, since he/she is a foreign national and only has permission to work in the U.S. for a certain period
. Therefore, they are not obligated to pay Social
Security or Medicare, which are U.S. Social Security expenses.

Therefore, you can submit the form W-8BEN （ https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf ）
instead of W － 9 to the company
to get FICA deducted from your pay check. FICA can be avoided by submitting the form W-8BEN
instead of W-9. However, this is understood by all companies that publicly "solicit OPTs"
and the company should specify the form, but in practice, I believe there are quite a few cases where this is not
consciously done to avoid the accounting burden.


Is that FICA not Refundable ？

Form843 （ at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f843.pdf ）
It is possible to get a Refund from the IRS.
Of course, you do not simply fill out the form and send it to the IRS, but you mail it to the IRS with a
copy of your W-2 or other form and proof of OPT, and explain that you have calculated the Refund amount and do not have to pay FICA.

What about your question about the penalty against the company ？

Proving whether it was a payroll processing error or the result of a conscious ≪malicious∩ (bad faith) result is
usually difficult, but

that you knowingly collected FICA on an OPT, you can state in a letter of explanation that you attach when you
attach your FICA calculation or proof of OPT, that "despite
continuously employing OPT for many years, you have failed to process FICA at all."

However, it would be
more effective for you not to take any emotional action at this stage, such as holding a grudge. The purpose of the Form 843 is only to refund the FICA paid.
