Thank you for all the UPDATE information.
I would like to know, I am currently in 2 jobs, one company is still waiting for me at home and one company is laying me off at the end of this month, so when I apply for UI next month, I will change the one company that is laid off from still employed to Laid off.
I heard from a friend that you have to reactivate if your Status changes, but one company is still registered.
In that case, is there anything I need to be careful about ？
Also, I need to apply for 13 weeks extension at the same time, which one should I do first?

Hi Mimi, long time no see.

When you apply for Laid off, your account balance is already going to be zero ？ I would like to give you some advice based on that assumption.

First, when you apply for PEUC, please select "YES" to the question "Are there any changes to your Initial Application ？?

Then, you can apply for Reactivate a Claim the next day after applying for PEUC. （ Please refer to my posts dated September 20 and 22 in this thread on how to apply for PEUC ） Now all PEUC application and Reactivation application are complete.

However, there is one fairly important thing to keep in mind: if you are working two jobs and you want to process Laid off for one of them, you may get an error message immediately after applying for Reactivation a Claim.

In other words, if an applicant has only one job and wants to apply for Laid off, the process will proceed smoothly and automatically without systemic problems, but if the applicant wants to apply for Laid off one of the two jobs, the old UI system does not read the application properly and does not automatically proceed. Sometimes the old UI system does not read well and does not automatically process the procedure （ UI Staff Talk ） .

If you receive an error message immediately after submitting a Reactivate a Claim request, please send us your name, last four digits of your social security number, address, phone number, and email address along with the following request: "I received an error message Please contact the UI office with your name, last four digits of your social security number, address, phone number, email address, and the following request: "I received an error message.

（ Request Description ）
Reason: Report a separation with employer
Company Name: Applicant's workplace
Hired As: Full time （ Part time ）
Last Day Worked: Date of last day worked
Seperation Reason: Laid off lack of work


A phone call is the fastest and easiest way to get a correction. They will correct it quickly and directly, but if you have trouble connecting, try sending it to the interpreter request e-mail address. Fax is also recommended.

In case of Reactivation modification, the UI office will often modify directly without contacting the applicant in advance, so after sending an email request, you should file a Claim a Certification or Reactivate a Claim After submitting the request email, you should open the application to the stage just before clicking the "Claim a Certification" or "Reactivate a Claim" button, and check it daily to see if the information on the workplace that was Laid off has been properly erased. If the information is gone, all is well.

People who have consulted me directly have solved their problems by the above methods, so even if you get an error message right after applying for Reactivate a Claim, you can always solve the problem.

I have an update on the PEUC application notes to share. The second one ② is especially important.

First, please be assured that even if your PEUC application is pending, you can still file a Claim a Certification every week as usual.

Second, if your PEUC application is denied, it will be for one of the following two reasons.

① You answered one of the five questions incorrectly
② Claim has expired

① In the second case, you must contact the UI ・ PUA office and have it corrected directly You must contact the UI PUA office to have it corrected directly.

② In the second case, you should never file another PEUC application, but file an Initial Claim application and an LWA application. By doing this, they will set up a new application system for （ PEUC ） for 13 weeks.

To find out the expiration date of your Claim, go to "Claim Inquiry" in your account and the date listed as "Your benefit year ends ●/●/2021" is the expiration date.

If you add up the 13 weeks at the time you apply for PEUC and it expires, you may be denied. If you are DENIED, please double check that you have answered the 5 questions correctly and then proceed with the ② number 1 step above.

I noticed something about the third of the PEUC questions, so I will share it with you just in case.

Regarding the third question, "Have you applied for unemployment benefits in another state or federal program ？".

I had a question when I read the article published by the Hawaiian government, and I asked the locals on the UI ・ PUA local board, and they were able to clear up my question, so let me share the following.

Article published by the Hawaii government:
https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/faq-lost-wages-assistance-lwa/

After reading this article, "LWA （ $300 per week paid ） is a Federal Program, so I should answer YES to the third question ？.

So, I checked with the local forum members and they told me, "LWA is paid from the White House to the Hawaiian government, and then the Hawaiian government pays it to the applicant. It is not a Federal Program that is paid directly from the White House to the applicant, so it is safe to answer NO".

So, applicants who are receiving LWA can choose "NO" without hesitation for the third question.
