PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13-Week Extension Program

I know that some of you who have been unemployed since March or April have a small account balance and need to apply for PEUC this month or next.

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.

How to apply for PEUC:

Mimi,

Thank you. What I have answered in each case is not only my own experience, but I have also reconfirmed it by checking the local bulletin board of UI ・ PUA Information Exchange and by asking the person in charge of the board directly. If you have any colleagues or friends around who are having problems, please share your answers with them.

I will send my answer below.

Are you unemployed or working less than full-time hours and your gross earnings are less than your weekly benefit amount?
↓
"YES". If you answer "no", the PEUC could be denied because it would imply that you are working more than 40 hours in a week and your WBA （ Weekly Benefit Amount ） is more than your weekly benefit amount. In Mimi's current work situation, the answer would be "YES".


Some people have asked other questions in private consultation, so I share them below for those who are not familiar with tricky questions.

Are you able to work, available to work, and actively seeking work （ Currently the requirement to actively seek work has been temporarily waived during Covid-19 ） ?
↓
This is a little tricky question that appears similarly in the weekly filing at the UI, but you must answer "YES". Those who need to answer "no" are those who are too sick or bedridden to work but are applying for unemployment insurance. In that case, you will need to submit your medical paperwork to the UI office or the PUA office.

We continue to share tricky questions.

Did you apply for Hawaii Claim on or after July 1, 2018?
↓
Did you apply after July 1, 2018? ？ so "YES" for those who have applied for UI or PUA due to Corona Impact this time.

Hawaii Claim is a tricky word, but it means unemployment insurance. （ This word confuses locals somewhat ）

Have you applied for unemployment benefits in another state or federal program?
Basically "NO". Most locals seem to answer "no" as well.

However, if you are applying for assistance with other services such as rent, please check directly with the organization to make sure that what they are offering is a Federal Program. If you are told that it is a Federal Program and you have passed the screening process, the answer is "YES".

This is a case that has happened recently
so I am sharing it here as a reminder.

If you leave the state of Hawaii while receiving unemployment insurance, you are only officially allowed up to 2 weeks of job search on the mainland. The applicant's IP address and GPS are used to determine his/her whereabouts.

However, there are people around who ask to apply for unemployment insurance on their behalf while they are on furlough and returning home for an extended vacation.

The UI and PUA offices prohibit family members and others from applying on your behalf.

At the airport, passport immigration information and driver licenses are recorded. The passport and driver license are connected to the social security number record. This means that it is very likely that the UI or PUA office will be able to track the applicant's movements by the applicant's social security number.

If such an identity theft application is later discovered, both the applicant and the person who accepted the application will be charged with Fraud Crime （ Fraud ） and the charges will never be expunged in addition to a hefty fine. In the worst case scenario, green card holders and visa holders will not be able to renew their cards and may not even be able to enter or leave the US.

If you do not want to be in the above situation, applicants are advised to give up unemployment insurance without asking others to do so while they are back in Japan. And those who are asked to do so are advised not to accept it.

Please be very careful as it will be irreversible.

I just added this to Sunset's INFO.

I really think you should be careful
with unemployment insurance application agents ！

When I made a UI claim last week,
the VPN on my home computer was turned on by mistake, and I had to
check my location. Please call the UI office.
I received a mail saying.

I was lucky to get through to the UI office today and
explained that I was in Hawaii, but
they asked me to send a copy of my passport and also a copy of my immigration history with my passport number for verification. I was told to send a copy of my passport and also a copy of my immigration history with my passport number.
Until I get the confirmation, I can't receive the benefits.

I had heard rumors about this, but
I was surprised that they are checking so thoroughly. I was surprised.

While there are still people who have not yet received unemployment insurance
I would like you to quit such things as
illegal receipt of benefits (when you return to Japan temporarily)
.
