For Bi-weekly applicants

Two tips were shared about PEUC application and are noted below, even those who have completed PEUC approval are encouraged to read them in preparation for EB20.

（ 1 ） If you only have a one-week account balance before applying for PEUC, please apply for a weekly Claim a Certification instead of bi-weekly. If you do so, your application status will be "processed" earlier compared to bi-weekly.

（ 2 ） After applying for PEUC, please apply weekly until the status is automatically switched to bi-weekly. Then your application status will be "processed" earlier.

The trick seems to be to apply weekly "just before" and "just after" applying for PEUC.

I made the inquiry you gave me, but the first time I was told 'wait 14 days' and the second time I was told 'some people are early, some are late'
.
Maybe it is not always the same day. I'll wait 14 days.

RIVER, Thank you for telling me. Perhaps the UI office is not only talking about the confirmation number, but also about the approval. I am very glad that I was able to confirm this in person, because there are surprisingly many cases where PEUC applications were not filed without receiving a confirmation number.

My UI ran out at the end of September and I applied for PEUC at the beginning of October, but it never went through, so I finally called last week and submitted my application
The operator told me to wait a while, and it's been about a week now and there has been no change on the website
I've been out of UI for over a month now. ・ ・ ・
The state government is talking about the EB20 program, but I really wish they would do something about the current system ！ ！ rather than that
. Sorry, I'm so anxious I had to post this here.

MOO,
The locos are in the same situation. One of them shared with us a letter that he wrote directly to the Hawaiian government. He has also agreed to share it here and said that no one is alone.

To those of you who have been waiting almost a month for PEUC approval
please read the letter.

Governor Ige:

I'm writing in response to my friends who are in limbo during the transition from UI to PEUC. We repeatedly hear to wait 21 business days for your claim to be processed, and to call the call center after the 21 days, and when you call you are told your claim We repeatedly hear to wait 21 business days for your claim to be processed, and to call the call center after the 21 days, and when you call you are told your claim is being escalated and you have to wait another 14 business days and if your claim is not cleared in 14 business days to call back. The call center seems to only be able to tell people "be patient" and "wait" it seems like a waste of CARES money. Why aren't the call center individuals trained to be able to do more? To make matters worse, many call center reps are VERY rude. I understand that almost everyone fell off UI and filed for PEUC at the same time- why wasn't this anticipated and with a plan set in place? March was understandable- we were blind March was understandable- we were blind sighted; but for PEUC this is the second wave- we should have learned, anticipated, and adjusted. 100 Claim Examiners were brought on a month after the majority fell of UI- and we were blinded. The majority fell of UI- and we are told they are focusing on those outstanding claims from March (which they should be) but who is filtering through PEUC? You have to understand that some people are going 5 weeks without any income, have just heard they are permanently laid off, and are potentially still waiting for housing assistance. There needs to be more leadership at DLIR and better communication to those who are playing the waiting game.

Sincerely,
A concerned citizen


It is important that each of you speak up so that EB20 does not become another PEUC. Please let us know how much trouble you are in, and what you can do to improve the situation. If many voices are gathered, I think the Hawaiian government will take this seriously.
