Thank you very much for your long time support. I was also anxious everyday, but thanks to this topic, I could feel the existence of people who are working hard together, and most of all,
sunset-san's positive and earnest support has saved my heart. I can't imagine how many Japanese people like me have been helped.
I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Rocco's Unemployment Insurance Help Team. I will do my best to return the aloha I received
.

Sorry for the long delay in replying to your comment.

ka,
thank you too for taking advantage of the unemployment insurance topic. I am also grateful for the help of those who worked hard to read the topic and provide information.

tax man,
thank you for your tremendous support regarding my taxes. I think tax man's clients are very lucky to have not only your professional knowledge and experience, but also your volunteer spirit.

Mana,
Thank you for your positive perspective and warm-hearted messages. We were often swamped by the inadequacies of the UI system, and I'm sure the staff at the UI office had quite a difficult time with our first Corona disaster. Yes, we all have near misses within Hawaii.

Betty Lover,
Thank you too for the information you provided, I am so glad that you have made great progress in Overpayment. I hope that a cure for the complete end of Corona will be developed soon. We are not alone in enduring the Corona disaster, we are all in this together.

Poncha,
Thank you too for sharing this information. Because I have experienced unemployment insurance myself, I think I was able to feel your concerns and worries in a reasonably realistic way. I would like to follow the example of Poncha and the Unemployment Insurance Help Team and cherish the feeling of aloha. Mr. Kim, Thank you very much for utilizing the Unemployment Insurance Topic. Thank you for your kind message. And I wish you continued good winds.

Thank you Sun,
Thank you too for using the Unemployment Insurance Topic. I think we will get together with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team again, so I will pass on your sentiments at that time. I just pray that the drug companies will develop not only a vaccine but also a cure for the eradication of corona as soon as possible.

[Notice again]

Those who continue to receive unemployment insurance after the PEUC program ends and those who are applying for unemployment insurance for the first time should go back and read #567, #568 and #569 in this topic.

This topic is already completely closed.

Thank you for your patience.

The following accounting firms offer such services.

Not myself, but my brother moved to Cebu, Philippines about 10 years ago after living in the US.
In the Philippines, I could get permanent residency status if I deposited about 3 million yen in the bank.
I have a real estate company in Hawaii to manage my apartment in Hawaii, and I receive important documents in the Philippines.

I think it would be easier to immigrate to a country where the U.S. Embassy is located.

！

First of all, I asked them ！ ！
I checked with each source and found that the government offices do not ship or send mail overseas.


But that was the letter that I couldn't ignore. Tears

Also
I checked with a famous real estate company and they told me that they don't forward personal letters, pension and insurance letters overseas.　However, they said, "We can help you with tax returns related to your lease in cooperation with an accounting firm."
That was the level of service.
No, we pay 10% every month, so we would like you to do it for us. I want to say that out loud.
I'd like you to give me a discount because I don't have to ask you to do more because I have a CPA that I always ask for.

I'm sure that many Japanese owners don't have social security, so it must be easy for them to file their tax returns. This is just one person talking: 。。。。

I was wondering if your brother's real estate agency in the Philippines offers letter forwarding service ？ I'd love to take advantage of that ！ ！
With all due respect, is that a small real estate agency, not a big one? ？ I have an image in my mind that they would do it.

I have only been retired for a few months.
I don't even know what kind of letter I will receive in the future.　You have to report back to me because of the change. If you don't, you'll be fined $ 2300, and some letters, and you can't ignore them: 。。。。 \모듈을 보려(Well, this is the version that you can manage by yourself because you know when you have to report it. \cHB2863> I'm just using an example.

You also told me about the letter forwarding service ！ that rents addresses from accounting firms, ！ which I thought was a great idea, but it's a bit pricey.
I thought
this is a good side business if the number of clients increases.... I'm not a professional. I wonder if I can do it because of my credibility as a CPA.... My thoughts went in an unrelated direction. Oh, I'm talking to myself. Sorry.

Eh, ？ it's expensive ？ you complain ？ hey hey hey ！
you are right. I'm sorry. ！

Well,
I am happy to have your precious time and wisdom.

I can't ask my friend ？
to do this version.

My friend is still struggling with raising children and working, so it's hard to ask her. My single friend is also getting older, so I'm worried about that too. 。。。。
Most of the letters are money related, so it's hard to show them to my friends and 。。。。
I really appreciate your kind words. I'm sorry for being such a bothersome questioner. 。。。。

I'm sorry, but
if there is anyone who still has such a letter, I would really appreciate it if you could give me your wisdom.
Thank you very much 。。。。

Thank you very much for your wisdom

I used to live in San Jose and moved to Japan after retiring （ 2015 ） I got my Permanent Resident VISA in Japan right away because I am a former Japanese （ I need a Japanese guarantor ）. I first entered Japan with a 3-year short-term VISA in the U.S. and was able to switch to a permanent residence VISA after one year. The exchange of dollars and yen was regularly Wire between bank accounts held in both the U.S. and Japan. Of course, U.S. tax returns must be filed with the IRS from a Japanese address, and the Social Security Office will send all documents to Japan if you change your address to Japan. If you do not have a bank account in the U.S., you can have it sent directly to your bank in Japan. All of my U.S. investment accounts (Fidelity Investment Accounts) were set up as Mutual Funds, but if my address is outside the U.S., I can sell them, but I cannot purchase new ones. However, ETFs can be purchased. I have no experience in property management in the U.S. because I disposed of all my real estate, but as the previous three mentioned, if you consult with a Japanese real estate company, I think they will manage your property without any problems by paying a certain management fee. One thing you need to be aware of is that for money transfers between the US and Japan, if it is more than 1 million Japanese yen, the bank will report it to the Japanese tax office （ I don't think it goes to the IRS ？ ） so you need to be careful. If the person is a US citizen, inheritance upon death is subject to US law, so you will probably need to prepare an English document such as Will. If you have further questions, please let me know as we can communicate directly via email

As an addendum to my post of 1 yesterday, a search on Vertual Mailbox brought up the following URL as a PO Box service.

https://ipostal1.com/virtual-mailbox.php
I think this may be helpful. When I was in Japan myself, I did not feel the need for a U.S. forwarding service; I filed a change of address form to a Japanese address with the IRS, Social Security Office, Bank, Insurance, etc., but all mail was sent directly to my Japanese address. Also, regarding the election list, you can contact the Voter Service in your last place of residence in the US and they will send you a mail-in ballot form. The following URL may be helpful.

I have now moved to Hawaii and use a Japanese forwarding service because my Japanese bank will not send my documents to the US.

In California, new construction of swimming pools is prohibited by law due to the lack of water, so
properties with pools are scarce.

It depends on the type, but someone I know said they went with solar because of the $ 500 electricity bill.

If you're looking to buy a house, ask an agent, it's accurate
It varies from city to city, or maybe you're too smart to ask an agent ？.

＞ Mr. Double Goldman, please tell me

why me ？ have I told you before about the Swimming Pool at my house ？ long story, as usual,

I have lived here since 1971 in this hot shitty Valley (San Fernando Valley) in 1971 and have lived here ever since. Since then - I've moved from apartment to 2BR, to 3BR, to 4BR, to 3BR, and back again in the Valley. And my current house and the house before that had a heated pool that I took care of for a total of over 20 years. However, both houses have gas heaters, so I don't know anything about electricity or anything related to it. In addition, the underground pipe from the gas meter to the heater in the current house is a galvanized iron pipe, and gas leaks from the rusty middle of the pipe, so we don't use the gas heater at all.

As for the gas usage in our previous house, the cost of gas was about $30 a month when we did not use the pool heater, but when we used the heater two or three times a month, the cost went up to about $150 a month. The cost of electricity is not so high as the cost of gas for the same amount of heat, and I think the cost of electricity is not ridiculous.

As for the poolman, we had a poolman for a few years after we moved into our current house, and at that time we were paying about $80 a month. Now it's probably $100 or more. Since I am retired, I have since cut off the poolman and gardener and now do everything myself. It's a great way to exercise my body in my old age.

If you know the specs of the electric pool heater, you can probably calculate the electric bill from the power consumption （ Watt Hour ） figures. Heated Pool does not mean that the entire pool is heated like a public bath or hot spring, but only that the pool is cold enough to make you shiver at first when you enter the pool on a cold day, but after you swim a little and your body gets used to it, it becomes much more comfortable than if it were not heated. I had a Jacuzzi by the pool at my old house and the warm water flowed through it to the larger pool （ I think they are all built that way ） so when the Jacuzzi warmed up like a hot spring first, I enjoyed the open air bath style, "Oh, that's nice hot water". I was enjoying it.

If you don't use it, just do the Heated pool work and
don't turn it on.

Thank you Roberts for your suggestions!!!!
It may be a bit difficult to live here from January. It depends on the period of time, the rent price, and the conditions.
