I called the Japanese post office to confirm that EMS is still suspended, but airmail is working.
They said it usually takes a week to arrive, but now they think it will take twice as long, but they don't know when it will arrive.

If anyone has recently had a letter or letter sent from Japan by air, could you please tell me how many weeks it took to arrive ?
Thank you very much.

I received a letter from Japan by airmail on January 27, but it has been two weeks today and I have not received it.

The last time I had a letter sent from Japan last October, it took only 5 days to arrive, but this time it has already been 2 weeks and I am getting worried.

According to the tracking, ↓
February 3, 2021, 8:28 pm
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
LOS ANGELES CA INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER

February 5, 2021
In Transit to Next Facility
Your package is moving within the USPS network and is on track to be It is currently in transit to the next facility.

It has been stuck in this state since Feb 5. ↑

Last time in October, the following message appeared the day after the above message. ↓
Arrived at USPS Regional Facility
HONOLULU HI DISTRIBUTION CENTER
It reached Honolulu the next day. ↑

Why did it stop at LA or did it go straight to missing mail ?
When I called customer center last week, I was told that if I did not receive it by the end of last week, I would submit a request and I was told to call again, so I called again as soon as possible this Monday, and a different person answered and told me that they could only tell me to wait.
I told them what I was told by the last call center and they said, "I can't make a request right now. Please wait a little longer." was all I was told.
I thought it was somewhat similar to the UI call center because different people say different things.

The USPS call center also makes you listen to music and wait for an hour and a half every time until you are connected.

If anyone has tried to make a request or missing mail through the website in the past, could you please tell me how to do it ?

Thank you very much.

Christmas cards and New Year's cards from Japan at the end of the year and the beginning of the New Year were received normally. However, during the first lockdown last year, I really needed to order a copy of my family register from Japan, and the one I had sent from Japan took about six months to arrive. I waited and waited, but there was no sign of it arriving, so I ended up having it sent back again via Fedex, which took about a week to arrive via the mainland.

UPPS has a tendency of missing things and sometimes the contents are missing, so I use Fedex when I have important documents sent to me.

Receiving Unemployment Insurance in the Mainland U.S.

Problem / Need advice

I have been on temporary layoff since the end of March and have been living on unemployment insurance for a long time, but it is getting harder and harder to live in Hawaii with the high cost of living since my additional allowance from the government (LWA \ will end in December) and my rent assistance will also end in December.

I am still registered with the company and plan to return when they reopen at some point, but I am seriously considering moving out of my Hawaii home and staying with a friend on the mainland until I can resume work. I know that basically you cannot receive UI from out of state, but I have heard that there are some exceptions for cases within the US.

I am thinking of consulting the UI Office as a no-brainer, but if anyone has been temporarily evacuated to the US mainland in a similar case, or knows anything about these cases, please let me know.

Thank you.

Coco Nacchi,

Congratulations on your approval !

It is a relief that you were approved before the end of the year.

Good night.

p.s.
I thought you might have inadvertently misplaced your topical location, but I've borrowed your location and replied as is.

Mahina,

I saw a case study.

Those who moved to the Mainland as a result of relatives' job transfers ( The totally unemployed ) have been able to receive unemployment insurance from the State of Hawaii. They were approved by submitting a personnel transfer letter or other documents. For example, this was often the case for people with military family members who had decided to relocate ( If they moved for no particular reason, they had to switch to the UI office in the state they moved to and reapply ).

From the above cases, I feel that it would be important to prove the circumstances of having to move. in Mahina's case, I think the proof would be her current asset situation.

Unlike moving due to relocation, the UI office may be harsh on people like Mahina who are temporarily unemployed and plan to return to work in Hawaii, but it seems that they make final decisions on a case-by-case basis. You may want to submit a letter to the UI office and ask them to make a decision.

The SSN office has been closed for in-person business since last March due to Corona.
In the meantime, if anyone has obtained a new SSN or knows how to obtain one, I would love to know.
If it is not in Hawaii, it can be done in another state.
Thank you in advance.

People are so sad because all they think about is money
It would be a lot easier if they were good enough to live without spending money.

Taro

You say that "everyone only thinks about money", but I don't feel that way.
I want to raise my children without the least inconvenience, and I want to live in a house with a roof over my head, even if it is small, and that still requires money. I know that you have had the experience of living in a house with a roof over your head ? because your parents worked
for the family ?

and also because you are in a foreign country and are unfamiliar with applying for unemployment insurance, so you are all sharing your own experiences and advice and trying to find a solution. We are all sharing our experiences, advice, etc. and somehow finding a solution. Did you see all the exchanges ? I was very impressed that you volunteered to share so much information with us. I know it may appear to Taro that you are desperate for money, but there is a spirit of mutual aid here as well.

You say people only think about money, most people think about more than just money.
Taro, you are the one who thinks only about other people's money. The expression "everyone" is so childish.
This is a word used by children who beg their parents for toys and games because everyone else has them or everyone else is buying them.
It doesn't get the point across and sounds like nonsense. It sounds like an overbearing junior high school student.

#26 LA said he was going to publish this Tobi in the exchange square of BibiNavi LA, so I went to see it.
I thought the exact same thing would be posted as this Hawaii version, but it's written in a coy way. And yet, I'm not getting much response, and I'm getting beat up.
Oh no ? Where did #26LA's comment go ? ? ? It's gone. Why ? I wonder if LA is Taro.
Then there was Taro's comment between #28 cynical and #32 persistent ( the one where he said he was working now with an employment contract ) it's gone ! ?
heh ? why ? why don't you get upset about money? why did you delete it because it contradicts what you said and what you did after saying that you don't want to make a contract of employment and that you don't want to make a contract of employment ?
Go to the Vivinavi Los Angeles Plaza for now!

Is Taro a liar ?
Sashimi, I also read Taro's comment ( the one where he said he had an employment contract and was now working ) I did read it.
I remember it well because I felt it was strange that you were so fascinated with homelessness and said you didn't want to be in a society where you had to work for a company or someone else to get paid.

> I work with the feeling that I have an employment contract but I don't lol
I just work because it's fun ? lol

because it's fun ? ? ? In the comment that disappeared. You wrote that you were unwillingly and disgustingly working in the dark.
Very strange. You are certainly too incoherent in what you say and what you do.
Maybe Taro has multiple personalities ( dissociative identity disorder ) ? I'm worried about someone else.
Missing LA, Sashimi, I have been looking at Vivinavi Los Angeles. Thank you for telling me about it. The Los Angeles version was interesting.

# 43 Moco, # I am Cynical, who wrote a long comment at 28.
I will not comment to Taro any more, thinking that he might have felt something by that comment, but
I was impressed by your comment, so I will comment to Moco.
Likewise, # I feel the warmth of 9 Kumogai Souten, # 10 Sage, # 4, 6 Purple, # 19 Karma, and others who have made comments that have touched my heart.
Sunset, who in a separate topic has been sweating out various questions and advice about applying for unemployment insurance and issues unfamiliar to her in a foreign land. I have actually read all the tobis of the exchanges between people who are sharing their experiences and advice with each other along with that Sunset. My question is serious. Because we are all struggling to live. We are serious about living.
And I feel that this is an important mutual help, a real mutual assistance. I really bow down to Sunset.
That is why I wrote that long comment with some technical examples.
Someone wrote that he thought he was clever and right about my comment, and I was very sorry to hear that he did not always convey his true intentions.
Just as I was impressed by Moco's comment, I hope that when people read someone else's comment, they will find something positive or a hint to help them move forward.
Moco's sentiments were conveyed to me.

Dear Sunset

I am sorry, please tell me.
Since 3/2020, I am in FURLOUGH.

My company outsourced HR, and
when I registered for UI application, the company told me to apply for
this outsourced company, Company A (tentative name), so I registered as Company A.
However, from 1/1/2021, the subcontractor was changed to Company B (tentative name)
.
Therefore, I don't know what to choose
because there is no
OTHER option when I answer
the following question at the time of Claim Certification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMPLOYED-A Company
Did you refuse any from Company A ?
Were you still employed by Company A as of 01/02/2021? ← #1
I think you should answer
NO to the above question because
Company B has been the company since 1/1/2021, but
the answer choice for the next question, Reason For Separation, is
"Company B has been the company since 1/1/2021". There are 7 answer choices for the next question, and I don't know which one to choose.

Choice
Laid off lack of work
Discharge
Suspend
Quit
Honoring picket line
Directly involved strike /lockout
Work not available due to strike

Please let me know.

Please read #352 in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 Week Extension Program" Topic. If you see "Details not available", it may be a week or so before you see "Processed".

Also, please read through all the threads, starting with #732, in case any questions or concerns arise in the future. If you have friends who are receiving UI unemployment insurance, it would be a good idea to ask them to give you a rundown of the process from the time you first apply for unemployment insurance to the time you receive your payment.

UI and PUA are different agencies and systems with different jurisdictions, so take them as completely different.

Thank you for your kindness in asking me about something so elementary.
My PUA application was denied last summer, mailed the documents to UI, applied online again … I am tired as it has already taken a lot of time.
I will look through the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 week extension program" and other topics as well.

I checked my inbox after reading your wonderful post, but I didn't receive any particular email I would like to take a look at it if you don't mind.
Also, I received the payment from UI safely today. First of all, I am relieved.
Please keep up the good work.

[Unemployment Insurance Tax Withholding ]Federal Tax suddenly became impossible to set up.

Hello everyone.
I am in the middle of my 13th week of PEUC and suddenly my State and Federal Taxes are not deducted from what I received this week.
I don't remember messing with the Tax Withholding settings.

I thought I had to change the settings again and tried to change them, but
Federal withholding has already been set and
removed for this claim.

and only State Tax can be changed to YES.

Has anyone else had this happen to them? ?
Also, in such a case, would it be okay to set just the State portion back to YES and apply for the next time?
In that case, will the Federal remain undeducted in the future?
If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know.
Thank you very much.
