#126 MH, nice to meet you.

Thank you for your valuable share. I am so glad that I was able to try the phone patiently and solve the problem at once.

I will share with the unemployment insurance help team about the questions asked by the UI office over the phone. Thank you once again for your help.

UI Director Interview]

There will be a video interview with Anne, UI Director, on April 16 （ Friday ） 10:30am on the Honolulu Star Advertiser Facebook page.

In each of the past interview videos, she has announced announcements and changes of high importance. We tend not to announce those in the UI office press releases, so the interview videos are a must-see for the latest information.

Dear Sunset

Thank you so much for your concern.
I thought that the WBA was as Sunset explained to me, so
I decided not to worry about the difference.
Sunset has been a great help to me. Thank you very much.

Dear Sunset and everyone

Thank you for all the information. I have just received an Email from UI and it asks me to File an InitialClaim. I have been given a shortened workday back at work, but my weekly Wage is less than WBA, so I am receiving UI. I was just waiting for my ExpireDate to be changed on the web when I filed my ExpireDate.

So I am surprised why I have to do an InitialClaim. If anyone has received a similar communication from UI, could you please let me know ？

The Letter from UI states
"you have sufficient wages to potentially qualify for a Please login and select File an Initial Claim to apply for a new regular claim for Unemployment insurance."
The letter from the UI states

I am confused, since I received this email, I think I have to file an Initial Claim, but none of my co-workers have received anything like this and the 13 weeks of PEUC has been automatically extended.
If anyone has a similar experience, I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you in advance.

Just because they are in the same office does not mean they are subject to the same conditions. Each employee's salary is different, so in Uminiikuyo's case, she may have been eligible to submit a second Application under the past salary calculation rules determined by the UI office. （ What payroll calculation rules are unpublished. In this case, the UI office tends to instruct applicants who have worked after obtaining unemployment insurance to submit a second Initial Application ）

After submitting a second Initial Application, if their WBA is more than $25 less than their current WBA is more than $25 less than the current WBA, the current WBA will be continued.

To those of you who are exchanging information with colleagues

Please do not view your colleagues as having the same unemployment insurance conditions just because they work at the same place. They only have the same "fully terminated", "temporarily terminated", "hourly", or "part-time" status, and their "salary", "paid", "bonus", and "company history" are different. Please keep in mind when exchanging information that these are reflected in your unemployment insurance.

I have seen a new case and will share it in a timeline format.

[Timeline]
New account balance added before Benefit Year End expires
↓
Benefit Year End expires on April 4
↓
Same day April 4, all Claim Inquiries will disappear
↓
Today （ April 11 ）, File a Claim Certification for the April 3 due date. However, he is unable to file a claim for April 10.
*This person's filing is Bi-weekly.
↓
With a conformation number for the application due April 3 and the message "Your claim must be reopened since it is currently inactive. You must do this no later than seven days from today's date.
↓
However, the "Reactivate a Claim" application is accepted from 6:30am to 5:30am, Monday to Friday, weekdays

Since the end of March, there are still some locals who have not been able to solve the same problem as the above. Probably a glitch on the part of the UI office.

If you cannot apply for Reactivate a Claim on a weekday, or if you cannot apply for File a Claim Certification for April 10th even on the following Sunday （ April 18th ）, it is highly likely that you will remain inactive. Inactive status is likely to be continued. In this case, please ask the call center to correct the problem.

I made a second Initial Claim on 3/25 and red text was displayed, but on 4/10 the red text display disappeared and a new amount was displayed for 26 weeks. The amount is now $25.00 and has decreased a little.
On the Initial Claim, there was a question about the last work day, and I called to ask if it was really pending because the last work day and the termination date were different ？ I was told there was nothing wrong with the file and to wait for the amount to be added. Last work day is INFORMATION, so I was told to Reactive claim myself.

Detail has been Ditail not available since pending and was processed on the second day after the 26 week amount was added.

Hello.

I'm sorry if maybe someone asked the same question.
It's a huge amount and I haven't read all of it.

I
left Hawaii last July due to a family emergency and was outside Hawaii for about 6 months.
I was told that I could not file a claim during that time, so I resumed my claim after returning to Hawaii.
but after returning to Hawaii

we're sorry but we were unable to verify your current filing because we had initially filed the claim from outside the country because we did not know we had to do anything before leaving the country.

I have tried to call several times but have not been able to get through.

I still had a by-weekly claim, but I received an email saying that my EB20 was probably over and I would be transferred to PEUC2, but then it said Your claim must be reopened since it is currently inactive.
It said "Your claim must be reopened since it is currently inactive.

I have reopened my case after returning to Hawaii, but I guess I didn't ？

My family is very sick and I have to go back to Japan.
Please give me some advice.

I believe this is a case where the UI office will carefully review your application because of your history of being out of state. Please contact the call center and ask for instructions on how to handle this. As you can see from reading the topi, it seems to be connected to those who call patiently, so good luck.

For a huge amount of topi, please take a week and read it in several parts.

I am very sorry, but the content of this topic is not suitable for this topic, so please read #1 and #127 properly and start a new topic in the future with a title that is easy to understand. Thank you for your understanding.

I have made some corrections and reposted.

If you received an email from UI asking you to make an Initial Claim, please let me know.

1œ) Will the sender of the email be "do_not_reply@ui.hawaii.gov"? ？
I get a lot of junk mail that I accidentally delete, so if I know the sender, I can avoid it somehow.

2) When I fill out the Initial Claim, when I fill out the past 18 months, for example, if I fill out the form today, should it be for the past 18 weeks backward from today ？
or should I fill out the same information as I did in 2020 when I first applied for UI? Would it be better ？ (I started receiving benefits in April 2020, so I mean the last 18 months of work placements retroactive to April 2020.)

Thank you in advance.

#73 Hina.

I am sharing this because I received a direct inquiry as to what happened after that.

I received an Email on 3/25 with instructions to File an Initial Claim, which I ignored.
PEUC was postponed until June 30 and WBA was credited for September, so
I am successfully filed and Processed every week.

#141 Always Summer and UI Office Contact Needed

I have a hard time connecting when I call in the morning, but I surprisingly connect when I call in the afternoon. Today I called 3 times from 3:40am and got through and was able to talk to a staff member a little over 10 minutes later.
At the same time, I was checking the availability of UI appointments just in case I could get one.

1)I have a Subject Hawaii Unemployment Insurance *Important - Action Requested* with
From: Hawaii Unemployment Insurance <do_not_reply@ui.hawaii.gov> and the sender was Hawaii Unemployment Insurance
.
2)I am speculating, but if I interpret the English as it is today, I think it should be
past 18 weeks retroactively from today if the entry was made today. Sorry if I am wrong.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has shared this information with us and we will share it with you.

[RESEA Letter]

You may receive a letter in the mail for a half-day workshop regarding your job search activities, some of the letter contents are as follows.
↓
Notice to report to the workforce development division
For: reemployment services and eligibility assessment （ RESEA ）

They will randomly select 40 people each week from those receiving unemployment insurance. As stated in the letter, failure to attend the workshop will result in a delay or denial of unemployment insurance benefits, so please be careful.

You will receive it by mail one week before the workshop day. Today （ April 14 ）, for the locals who received this letter, the workshop was on April 20.

If you are going to be out of state, it would be safer to call, email, or mail the UI office to let them know the dates in advance.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has shared the following with us and we will share it with you as soon as possible.

Someone received the following email reply from Anne, UI Director, this week. The person had used up the account balance for the PEUC 13-week extension on December 26 and was unable to proceed to the PEUC 11-week extension program, so they sent an email to Anne to inquire about it.
↓
Please log in your UI account and apply for EB20.

However, the EB20 program is already completely closed. According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, this is most likely a misstep by Anne's staff team.

If you are contacting Anne about unemployment insurance and receive this cryptic email, we recommend that you forward your email to the Language Access contact and ask for help.
