[Joint Press Conference]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has summarized the contents of the May 20 joint press conference between Governor Ige and UI Director Anne, excerpting important parts （ ① through ⑦ ）.

① Job Search reporting begins with weekly filing ending June 5

② Job Search reporting rule for weekly filing is that if you report the same appliers in the following week as you reported in the previous week, you will be counted in 3 Not counted as one of the Job Search

③ Only those who are totally unemployed （ Laidoff ） are eligible for Job Search. Those who are Temporary Layoff （ Furlough ）, Short-Term （ Partial Claims ）, in a Union with job placement assistance, or in the PUA program are not eligible for Job Search.

sunset comment:
Part-time furloughs and shortened hours （ Part-total Claims ） are also Job Search eligible, as reconfirmed later.

④ Job Search includes "registering with 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 go through the above steps and complete the three job search activities and submit a report, you are OK. The information provided in #227 and #228 of the "PEUC September Extension Program （ Third PEUC ）" topic is also very helpful. Also, please register immediately as it is very likely that the UI office will check to see if you are registered with Hirenet.

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 activity 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 engaged in this type of intentional behavior. The UI office is also following up on the filing impersonation illegal activity every week, so be sure to go to the interview if you are called for one, as they are sure to do additional investigation this time as well.

⑥ New website with updated information for employers and unemployment insurers

sunset comment:
Job Search home page.

⑦ "RESEA" and "Quality Control Assessment" will be included as part of Job Search prerequisites
↑
sunset comment:
UI office will be in the process of responding to those called in. According to the Job Search website, you are supposed to submit your Job Search Activity Report when you are called. Please read through #789 and #965 in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13-Week Extension Program" Topic.

That's all for now, but I think it is quite difficult to make a Job Search activity report on a small island like Hawaii, where English-speaking jobs are predominant.

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

Some employers abuse their authority, so please read #216 of "PEUC September Extension Program （ 3rd PEUC ） Topic" carefully and be careful not to get involved.

For those who are not confident in writing Job Search activity reports, we strongly recommend that you do not worry alone but exchange information with your former colleagues and help each other.

I have reconfirmed the difference in status, which was shared with me by a loco who looked into this issue.

Please compare with your own situation.

① Laidoff （ Job Search needed ）
● Full time job totally unemployed due to corona
● Part time job totally unemployed due to corona

② Furlough （ No Job Search Required ）
● Temporarily laid off from full time job due to Corona

③ Partial Claims （ No Job Search Required ）
● Full-time job being shortened due to Corona

④ Part-total Claims （ Job Search required ）
● Part-time job being shortened due to Corona
● Part-time job with shortened hours due to corona

⑤ Full-time job or part-time job with corona, totally unemployed and working part-time for another company, Job Search is required.

Added
If you are suddenly asked to submit a "Job Search Activity Report" while you are filing weekly as if you were doing a Job Search, even though you are not doing a Job Search, it is a false declaration. If you are suddenly asked to submit a Job Search activity report while you are filing weekly reports as if you are engaged in Job Search activities, it is a false declaration.

As I shared in another Topic, at the joint press conference of Governor Ige and Anne, she stated that she would "follow up with each company based on the Job Search activity report. We do not know what kind of penalty the UI office, which is very strict about illegal impersonation and non-transparent labor income reporting, will impose, so please be careful.

You can also enter "Japanese" or "hotel" in the search field, or enter a company name to help narrow your search.

●Craigslist site

They say you should carefully distinguish between full time and part time positions. It is better to distinguish between full time and part time positions.

● Other Japanese job boards
We will not post the link to this site so that you can see Bibinavi's site first.

●Job Fair Events
If you search "Job Fair Hawaii" on the net, you will find virtual events hosted by various companies.

●Hirenet
At this time, Hirenet has very few job openings for Japanese language staff, but there may be more when the tourism industry for Japanese people is expected to resume.

The best thing to do is to get a job in the type of industry you are interested in or to make the most of your career, so it would not be a bad idea to check the websites of the companies you are interested in and see if there are any job postings or to contact the HR of those companies. I am sure you will be able to find a job that you are interested in.

Part-Time]

With the current narrow range of job opportunities in the small island of Hawaii, it may become mentally and financially difficult for the individual if he/she struggles to prepare Job Search activity reports while sticking to unemployment insurance.

The view has been expressed that after September, the break in the PEUC program, unemployment insurance payments will be lower anyway.

Also, the timing of Japanese tourists returning to Hawaii may depend on Japanese airport rules as to when the 2-week self-quarantine will be lifted （ There are still emergency declarations in many prefectures... ） . It is not impossible that the Olympics and Paralympics could cause another spike in corona infections. As some of you may have seen on the news, the US federal government has finally issued a travel advisory for Japan.

This means that it may be some time before Japanese tourism in Hawaii resumes in earnest.

With the unemployment insurance rules showing signs of tightening, this is a suggestion, but giving up unemployment insurance and switching to part-time work may be an option. And I feel that it would be easier to find a full time job when the Japanese tourists come back. I suggest you check out the Vivinavi Job Search Board as there seem to be a lot of part time jobs listed there now. You can tell everything about a company by the atmosphere among its employees, so please observe the atmosphere of the workplace carefully. Just in case there are some folks out there who may not know. Applications for general health insurance are accepted from mid-October to early December each year, and you cannot apply at any other time. You can only apply anytime after you start working for an employer that offers health insurance benefits. Those who are planning to work only part time for a while are encouraged to apply for general health insurance this fall or to look for a part time job with health insurance benefits.
