Inquiry, maruko,

Since then, I have seen that there are many people who have used up their PEUC13 weekly account balance earlier than December 26 and applied for EB20 before December 28, but have not received an email and are not able to cancel their EB20 in the "Extended Benefits Survey". Benefits Survey" and are unable to cancel their EB20 application. I am troubled by the variety of situations that are occurring. This is such a serious problem that it should be on the national news. Anyway, in the case of Mr. Inquiry and Ms. Maruko, please call the call center tomorrow to inform the UI office of your intention to cancel. I strongly hope you manage to get through to them, and I think you should also try Fax （ Email may get buried in the mass of inquiry emails and go unnoticed ）.

Even if filing is enabled, filing now may result in a process as EB20, so you may want to avoid filing until you can contact the call center.

Dear SUNSET and everyone,

I took SUNSET's advice and called this morning at 7:45 am, just in time for the UI OFFICE phone line to open.
After dozens of calls, I finally got through and was able to talk.

Let me quickly share the situation this morning.
When I told the first woman who answered the phone that I wanted to cancel my EB20 and choose PEUC2, she told me that you were already eligible for EB20 and that I could not change it.
To date, I have not received any calls from the UI OFFICE about the choice of EB20 or PEUC2 at all and I have contacted them through various means such as LETTER and Email that I want to cancel EB20 and they decide mechanically without addressing or giving feedback. I asked if I could change it and was told that I could not.
So I persisted and told them that I wanted to talk to the Examiner ， Supervisor, Incharge, or whoever was in charge or in charge of the matter, and after waiting for a while, I was able to talk to another responsible lady.
We also ate a lot of food and asked a lot of questions.
1 ． I want to cancel EB20 and choose PEUC2.
➡ People who clicked on the LOG IN PAGE in the UI to select EB20 cannot change it.
2 ． It would not be fair if there were people in a similar situation who could select PEUC2 if the UI OFFICE called them ？
➡ There should be no such people.
3 ． If the only option is to accept EB20, can they apply for PEUC2 after 13 weeks of EB20 payment ？
➡ If EB20 payment is done by the end of March 13, they can apply for PEUC2. （ This is well known to everyone ）
3 ． If the last payment is due on March 20 like ours, can we apply for PEUC2 ？
➡ If there is no change as it is now, can we apply for PEUC2 after EB 20 cannot be applied for after the 20.
4 ． Isn't that NOT FAIR ？
➡ I know there are many similarly eligible people but nothing can be done at this time.

In the end, all of these decisions were also made at the behest of Federal, and the State of Hawaii can only act as per the behest that came from Federal, so please understand.
In addition, in the LOCAL NEWS, a person from the UI OFFICE said with a laugh that the UI SYSTEM of the State of Hawaii is old … and when asked if it has been updated since then, he said that they are updating it little by little.
Also, some Japanese taxpayers who are eligible for unemployment insurance who are involved in this COVID － 19 have questions or want to say something, but they cannot speak English and have trouble figuring out what to do （ There are Japanese interpreters, but they cannot convey detailed subtleties ）,
. I told them that there are many people who are potentially very frustrated.
I told them that I was grateful for the HARD WORK and that I knew there were many people who were frustrated with the current situation.
However, when I told him that I wanted the State of Hawaii to work with Federal in a better direction for the people of the state who are suffering from this situation, he said that the State of Hawaii has no choice but to follow Federal's direction.
I told him I would share this Conversation with the Community and hung up the phone.
That is all I have to report as of this morning. I would like to know if the person answering the phone would handle the situation differently, and if you get any more information, please share it with us, as perhaps the situation will change in some way.

Inquiry,

I am truly dismayed by the UI office's failure to correct the system or even announce the Benefit Year End deadline this time.

This is a suggestion, but I suggest that you appeal this situation to Legal Aid of Hawaii for help, Legal Aid is the organization that saw too many problems with the UI system and asked the federal government to investigate on site.

I found out later that there was a way to deduct TAX for unemployment insurance, so I decided to pay it all together later, thinking that it might get complicated later if I deducted it during the process. But I don't know where to pay it when the time comes.
When I do a tax return, I can file a Form 1099 with my accountant, but he won't pay the tax.
If anyone knows, could you please let me know ？
Thank you very much!
