Mr. Sunset

sorry for the late night.
I appreciate your detailed explanation.

Maybe my interpretation was wrong.

"EB will last as long as the unemployment rate does not fall below 5%, so if you finally get a PEUC extension of 11 weeks and then apply for a new EB, the length of time you receive assistance will not be so different after all. I thought that the time period to receive assistance would not be so different. \I thought that the time period of receiving aid would not be so different if the unemployment rate was 5% within 11 weeks of the PEUC extension. \Is this a wrong idea?
↑
（ Please tell me if my question is wrong ） EB20 is for 13 weeks and PEUC extension is for 11 weeks, so the difference is 2 weeks.

↑ I thought EB was paid all the way through the 13 weeks until the unemployment rate reaches 5 percent.　
So the payment ends after 13 weeks ？


Also, I saw in English posts that
EB is a State of Hawaii funded program, PEUC is a Max of all programs is 50 weeks so for Hawaii we get normally 26 weeks of regular UI + 13 weeks of 1st PEUC + and That's why you have to choose either EB or 2nd PEUC but not both. All programs end on March 14. What does it mean ？
The Max Benefit you get in Hawaii is 50 weeks total. you can't get both EB and 2nd PEUC, so you have to choose either EB or 2nd PEUC but not both.
All programs expire on March 14 。。。。
Are you sure ？
If this translation is correct, I don't think it makes much difference whether you choose PEUC or EB.
I would be embarrassed if I am totally wrong.

I saw on the news that it is only a matter of time before a mutant species is spotted in Hawaii.
The stress of not having a job, and the stress level against the UI, is half of what it used to be.
I can't wait to get back to work.

Mr. SUNSET

Thank you for your help.
I have a question.

From #622
"② Those who still have PEUC account balance

（ Option 1 ）
EB20 application before Benefit Year End deadline

（ Option 2 ）
Wait for PEUC 11 week extension guidance
*Risk of systemic complications after Benefit Year End deadline"

I still have a balance on my PEUC until mid January.
The display says YOUR BENEFIT YEAR ENDS Dec 29th.
When I called UI and asked them, they told me to apply for EB20 after I used up my balance, so I was going to apply for it in mid-January when I used up my balance, but should I apply for EB20 today, the 29th, even if I have a balance ？
?
Please do so.

ASA,

"I thought EB was supposed to be paid all the way through the 13 weeks until the unemployment rate reaches 5 percent. So you are saying that the payments end after 13 weeks ？"

It ends after 13 weeks, but UI Director Anne commented that we don't have to worry too much, so if the Hawaii situation doesn't change at all next year, we will take some steps If the Hawaii situation doesn't change at all next year, I think they will do something. It all depends on the Corona situation.

Here is the official announcement from Gov. Ige that says EB20 is 13 weeks. https://labor.hawaii.gov/blog/news/hawaii-activates-federal-state-unemployment- insurance-extended-benefits/

"Also, I saw in your English post, what does this one mean ？ The Max Benefit you get in Hawaii is 50 weeks total, since you can't get both EB and 2nd PEUC. You have to choose one or the other. All programs expire on March 14. 。。。。 Am I correct in ？ If this translation is correct, I don't think it makes much difference whether I choose PEUC or EB."

Can you please post a link so I can double check who's information is on which site ？ I recall that UI had similar requirements since it is indeed maxed out for 50 weeks total at PUA. It was an error in checking the accuracy of the information I caught. My sincere apologies.

The $300/week, PUA, and PEUC 11-week extension ends March 13, but I could not find any solid information that EB20 ends the same day. I think it would be better to check directly with the UI office. Also, in the official announcement by Gov. Ige, he said 52 weeks （ UI26wks+PEUC13wks+EB13wks ） If you choose to extend PEUC by 11 weeks, you will get 50 weeks （ UI26wks+PEUC13wks+PEUC11wks ）.

Not much difference in timing by 2 weeks, but it depends on what guidance the UI office will officially release. Also, as I said in #568 of this topic, it depends on whether it will remain the interpretation of the team responsible for reading The Second Stimulus Package, or whether the UI office will say "if you have not yet applied for EB20, you can extend your PEUC 11 weeks".

Tamaki,

"I still have a balance on my PEUC until mid-January. When I called UI and asked them, I was told to apply for EB20 after using up the balance, so I was going to apply for EB20 in mid-January when I used up the balance, but should I apply for EB20 today, on the 29th, even though I have a balance? I was wondering if there is a process to get the UI office to fix it if the Benefit Year End deadline passes and if there is a systemic complication. I think there is a process to have the UI office fix it if there is a systemic complication. It is up to each of you to decide which option you would prefer.

I don't have a link here, but I have a copy.
May I send it to you by e-mail?
