Recently I often see messages that one person $ 33 is looking for participants for an escape game.
Does anyone know what kind of person is recruiting this ?
Her name is Kikuna, or Lina, or,
I think she is probably a woman, but she claims to be a young woman in her 20s.

Regarding PUA backdating

Question

  • 2021/06/26 07:34

Good morning, I have a question.
I have been asking the PUA to backdate ( my payments ) since last November, but it has not been resolved yet.
I am now registered with the PUA and am asking for payment for the months of June and July when I was receiving Regular UI.
When I contacted the PUA, they informed me that the backdating for the PUA period is over and I have not received a proper reply from the Regular UI office.
I have called the UI office several times and have not been able to connect.
I was given wrong information by the PUA staff when I was trying to switch to PUA, and I have not received my Regular UI, and I want to pay for the time I was unable to apply for PUA, but I am worried that they will no longer accept my application.
If anyone has any information or is in the same situation, please advise.

Pochi,

It's been a while.

I don't know if they accept consultations from people who have transitioned to PUA, but you might try booking an online consultation appointment for UI. If you check often, they will suddenly have openings.

http://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/oahu-appointments/

Online consultation for UI does not require Examiner permission ( Glitch fix, backdating, etc ) Overpayment, etc. requires Examiner approval, so the UI office will cancel your appointment at a later date.

I don't know if they will accept this consultation, but you might want to apply for a no-obligation one.

I received this message from the UI office regarding my backdate.
'My name was already informed that she was ineligible to be backdated past September because she received UI benefits for that period.'
The UI ( that I did not receive during the period of moving from Regular UI to PUA ) mid September to end of October was backdated. But what I am asking for is the period from June to the end of July when I could not change to PUA and could not claim Regular UI ( due to incorrect information by PUA staff ) because the school was closed and I could not return to work .
I was given a lot of advice and understood that I should be backdated as well, but am I mistaken?
The online consultation I received from SUNSET is not easy to make an appointment.
I don't even know if I can make a claim about this, but if anyone who has backdated can share any information with me, I would appreciate it.
Please do.

Medical marijuana is legal, but everything else is illegal.

If the person has been prescribed it by a doctor in the past and has a medical marijuana card, there is no problem, but if not, HPD could investigate. Preferred marijuana is illegal in the state of Hawaii. I believe it is a misdemeanor violation now, but just so you know, if HPD investigates, you could be in harm's way yourself.

Since your Roommate smokes, we assume you do too.

If possible, you should move.

I will share here
the most important thing to keep in mind.

Please make sure your account balance is zero before applying for PEUC.

UI ・ Many people on the local PUA message board do not know this and apply for PEUC before their balance is zero, causing the pending process to take longer than the usual 2 weeks.

Please be careful.

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.

If you are receiving original UI and have questions or concerns, please do not post them in this topic, but start a new topic with a clear title and ask others.

This topic already contains know-how, tips and answers about original UI and PEUC. Please take a few days to read through the past topics before posting your own question in a new topic. For those who do not read the past topics, please go through the process of asking questions directly to the call center by yourself.

Finally.
I would like to express my sincere and deepest gratitude to those who shared information in this Topic and those who contacted me directly and provided information while many recipients got into trouble because the UI office did not have the system and know-how in place. Thank you very much.

( PUA)Tell me about the job search list if you are self-employed?

Question
#1
  • Self employed
  • mail
  • 2021/07/01 17:27

I closed my sole proprietorship last year and have been receiving PUA since then. I have been contacting real estate agents and existing clients in search of rental properties to restart my business. I have not yet found a property that fits my criteria, but I am continuing …. The following is a Google translation of what I saw in Q&A of the PUA.

[If I apply for a PUA because my self-employment has been affected by COVID-19, do I need to search for a job ?

Yes. The new job search requirements include self-employed individuals and independent contractors who were not previously covered by the unemployment insurance program. You must actively seek to resume self-employment. Examples include, but are not limited to, advertising your business, bidding on jobs, contacting potential clients, and requesting assistance from the Hawaii Small Business Development Center or the U.S. Small Business Administration].

I am working to resume my own business and have my records withheld, but this information is difficult to fill out on the UC-253Form and I don't know what to do. If anyone can help me understand, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

As someone who also reads information exchanges for PUAs, I will only note what I know.

The main thing the PUA office wants to know is whether you are really doing the activities to prepare for business reopening, so from that point of view, it would be good to know the dates of the activities, the names and contact information of the suppliers, customers, etc. contacted, and the results of the activities clearly.

Locals receiving PUA as business owners were also confused by the UC-253 form, which is not designed for business resumption preparation, but they wrote the date, name, contact information, and the results of the activity, and then they wrote the e-mail correspondence with clients and customers ( all dated. ) and others so that he can print copies and submit them whenever requested by the PUA office.

Like both PUA and UI, the UC-253 form is a contact list for each office to follow up on. Think of it as the date, name, contact ( phone number ) not email, and the results of the activity in a way that is easily understood by the office.

The money changers in Waikiki are open, but since there are few tourists from Japan, they will not exchange high amounts of money to $ → ¥.
I tried to exchange $ 1000 in April, but was told there were no Japanese yen.

I had to withdraw my Hawaii bank account deposit from the Japanese post office.
There is a limit of 50,000 yen per transaction and a handling fee of 300 yen, but the rate is better than exchanging money at a bank.

Some Japanese money stores will also exchange money, so it may be a good idea to change it after returning to Japan. I myself use this method to exchange Japanese yen → dollars.

It was about 6 years ago, so I can't say it was recent, but if that's OK ・ ・ ・

We used a company called Royal Hawaiian Movers when we moved from Hawaii to the mainland.
https://www.royalhawaiianmovers.com
We used Royal Hawaiian Movers for our move from Hawaii to the mainland.
They were very helpful in giving us a quote and advice on what to do on the day of the move
We packed a lot of our stuff ourselves and moved it all downstairs. They were very helpful and gave us good advice on what to do on the day of the move They also did a lot more packing than we expected
They came on the day of the move and did a great job.
The workers who came that day were friendly and hardworking.
The price was not cheap, but the service was good and I felt safe, so if there is a next time I will use the same company.

The movers from Hawaii sent my belongings to the mainland ( and they arrived on the west coast ) about a month later.
The local movers, who were probably commissioned by the Hawaii company, did the unloading.
The service was very good, but one of the workers stole one of our precious metals.
We immediately called the police and the movers.
Fortunately, the item had a serial number. A week later, the police informed us that it had been taken to a pawn shop outside the city, and we got it back three weeks later.
The local movers compensated us for the repair.
When the movers enter your home, we recommend that you wear all precious metals and valuables or keep a watchful eye on them with your family at all times.

By the way, you should plan to replace all your furniture and car.
In both cases, you can buy better quality items on a lower budget on the mainland, and if you send them back, you will have to pay for them.
Also, I hear that the size of the couch set etc. is not suitable for mainland homes as they are basically larger than Hawaii.
We also sold our furniture ・ and car, and used a rental car and air bed for a while

When we received our luggage from Hawaii, we put a piece of paper with a number on it in each room where we wanted to have our luggage moved in.
It was very useful to give instructions to the contractors.

That's all I can think of ・ ・ ・

Good luck with your move!
May your new start be the road to happiness !.

Mr. lonsdale
Thank you very much for your detailed information and kind words. !

I have been in contact with various companies since yesterday, but many of them were difficult to reach the person in charge of estimation.
I will contact the companies you told me about as soon as possible. In any case, I think it would be better to minimize my belongings as much as possible. Since this is a good opportunity, I think I will try to cut down my belongings to the bare minimum.

I was surprised about the theft because it was something I had never thought of, but thanks to what you told me, I will be very careful and take countermeasures.

I never thought that the day would come when I would have to think about leaving my beloved Hawaii, but I will definitely come back one day.

I sincerely wish lonsdale and all of you dear ones good health and happiness.
Thank you so much !

I have a friend with whom I have lunch, dinner, and barbecue once a month, and quite often she brings a friend of hers that I don't know. She is the one who invites me to lunch in the first place, but when it comes time to make plans to meet her, she insists on bringing her friend.
Of course, she tries to talk with me and seems to be having fun, but it is very painful. It is exhausting.
I am always wondering if I am crazy.
Any good advice would be appreciated.

Maybe that person is thinking the same thing. They bring a friend because two people can't have time for each other. If you don't feel like a dinner party, it's okay to say no. Maybe they are waiting for you to turn them down too.

If you are in pain, I think you should quit being friends.

If you are in pain, your partner might be too.

If you are Japanese, you can read whether they are laughing from the bottom of their belly or not.

If you live honestly, your life will be fun.

You will live a long and healthy life

without stress and without getting sick, if you only associate with people who have the same sense of humor in their private life.

You will be happier by cutting down on socializing.

Since it mentions a barbecue as well as lunch and dinner, we do not know if it was a one-on-one meeting appointment or if it was between people who always meet in multiples, but we suspect that your friend likes to network and get together with a group of people. The questioner may be welcome to bring a friend. Many of the friends you make after moving to Hawaii will be friends you have known for only a few years. You may find that you can make new friends and find people you are comfortable with.

However, some people may not be comfortable communicating with people they do not know. In that case, I think it is a good idea to make a decision not to participate in the meeting. There are many such people.

I think the most important thing is to feel at ease and happy.

Yes, there are people like that. In the case of my friend, even though it was a farewell party, he invited a complete stranger of the person being farewelled and brought him along without permission.
Maybe he feels like all his friends' friends are his friends. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and your friend may be doing it for the best, so you should tell him or her how you feel ?.

There are no Japanese fortune tellers recommended in Hawaii
They talk too.
They charge a lot, but it is because the higher the price, the more accurate they are.
If you want to talk and vent, a counselor is much safer. There is also confidentiality.

I agree with Sora.
Confidential counseling is safer.

If you listen until you feel clear,
you will feel calmer and
you will gradually see solutions on your own.

It's a phase, but
state licensed counselors are
practically trained and
have mastered the basics, including confidentiality rules.

When I see Japanese people living in Hawaii who are
devoted to fortune telling and spirituality,
things are not going well and
there seems to be an overwhelming number of people who are looking up to them.

I think it is better to have your fortune read when you are calm in mind and body, not when you are clutching at straws.

I agree 🔝 with those above.
It's hard to believe what our friends and acquaintances on the island say.
Many of the islanders are very fond of other people's misfortunes.

From my experience, fortune tellers are $ expensive and I have never had any luck.
Counselors are good, but the best way to save money is to consult your parents or Japanese friends.

Speaking of fortune tellers, I think Mr. Rambo is a fortune teller.
When I had a problem a long time ago,
I went to Mr. Rambo's house
to find out what would happen next.
I got in line at about 5 am.
I didn't tell him what was bothering me, but
I asked him to guess, and
he guessed it beautifully.
I was really surprised
because it was the source of a problem that I normally would never have guessed.
