Vaccination]

This is not related to the purpose of the topic, but let me post this temporarily to help reduce corona together with everyone.

As you know, it is now possible to get the corona vaccination if you are 16 years old or older and live in Hawaii.

To find out where to get vaccinated in the state, text your phone to 438829 and enter the ZIP Code of your residence.

I just tried texting and it showed me the address and phone number of a Walgreen's or CVS near where I live. If you visit or call that location, you may be able to make an appointment for the vaccination.

This is very convenient, so if you have not yet been vaccinated, please take advantage of it. If you know people around you who would like to be vaccinated, please recommend it to them.

Focus on those who have not been vaccinated Coronas are increasing and decreasing, so let's all continue to get through this together.

Thank you for all the information you share with us.
Please tell me how to correct my simple mistake.
I received the following email from Hawaii UI office on 5/2 expired and asked to file an initial claim at midnight on 5/7.
Please login and select "File an Initial Claim" to apply for a new regular claim for Unemployment Insurance benefits.
So I immediately filed an Initial Claim, but I made a simple mistake of getting my home address wrong. So I made an initial claim, but I made a simple mistake of getting my home address wrong.
I guess I have to call the UI office to correct it ？.

Correction of Labor Report and Initial Application]

After the applicant clicks the Submit button and submits the application, the applicant is not allowed to correct the information in the UI system and must contact the UI office to have it corrected directly.

-About Labor Report-
If you made a mistake in answering a question or labor income, please call the call center ASAP while in Pending status to have it corrected directly. According to past cases, we strongly recommend that you call as they tend not to respond to emails or faxes.

-Initial Application-
If you make a mistake in entering your name, social security number, address, company name, etc., the UI office system will not automatically pick up the applicant's past income. If you make a mistake in entering your name, social security number, address, company name, etc., the UI office system will not be able to automatically pick up your past income and will issue an approval letter with a WBA that is zeroed out, which will interfere with the background check process in future inquiries with the UI office. Please call the call center ASAP to have this corrected directly.

Please be careful again, as in past cases there have been many happenings where an approval letter with a zeroed WBA was received due to a mistake in the social security number or company name （ The company name is the official name as it appears on the pay stub ） .

If you can't get through to the call center, you may be able to e-mail or fax them, but the UI office that wasted hundreds of millions of unemployment insurance funds by mistakenly paying out to impersonating criminals received a stern warning from the federal government and unlike last year, they are very It is safer to make an appointment for consultation online rather than by e-mail or fax.

For those of you who are totally unemployed,
temporarily laid off,
on short notice,

we have discussed your concerns about September and beyond with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, which includes members who became unemployed in the tourism industry, and we thought it would be good to share this information with you now.

Please understand that this advice is to help each of you prepare your own best strategy for September and beyond while you still can.

It is just a personal guess by our Unemployment Insurance Help Team that the PEUC extension and $300/week allowance will be lost or will be very low after September because of the turnaround in vaccination in the US states.

In addition, since vaccination is not progressing well in Japan and Japanese airports have not lifted the 14-day voluntary quarantine period rule, it will be very difficult for Japanese tourism to resume in Hawaii within this year. Even if they do reopen by the end of the year, it may not be in full-fledged reopening mode, but rather in a gradual reopening mode.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team is more concerned than I am that the reopening of Hawaii for Japanese tourism may be further delayed if there is an infection cluster at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.

Back to the topic at hand, the Unemployment Insurance Help Team has explained ①, ②, and ③ to help you understand how your unemployment insurance will affect you after September.

① If your Benefit Year End expires in January, February, or March 2021 in the original UI when you first applied for unemployment insurance （ ＝ Base Period ） is will be as follows.
↓
（ 1 ） Base Period = Oct 2019 - Sep 2020
（ 2 ） Alternative Period = Jan 2020 -December 2020
*Alternative Period is an alternative period that is calculated instead of the Base Period where the WBA cannot be calculated.

② If the Benefit Year End expires in April, May, or June 2021 in the original UI when you first applied for unemployment insurance （ ＝ Base Period ） is will be as follows.
↓
（ 3 ） Base Period= Jan 2020 - Dec 2020
（ 4 ） Alternative Period= Apr 2020

1 ）, （ 2 ）, （ 3 ）, （ 4 ） If you do not meet the above （ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and have more than $25 difference compared to your previous WBA In this case, the WBA at the original UI when you first applied for unemployment insurance will continue as it was when you first applied for unemployment insurance due to "special measures under PEUC rules".

And if you only have an account balance through June, it will be extended through September after the June point. However, if you only have an account balance through September, it will depend on what the federal government and Congress decide after September.

Also, for those who submitted their second Initial Application this spring and it was approved, what happens to your account balance after September depends on what the federal government and Congress decide. What happens after September depends on what the federal government and Congress decide.

③ If you decide to resubmit your Initial Application in September 2021, the period for calculating your past earnings to calculate your WBA （ ＝ Base Period ） would be It would be easier to understand if you compare the calculation table with the one in the approval letter for unemployment insurance when you first applied.
↓
《1》Base Period= April 2020 - March 2021
《2》Alternative Period= July 2020 - June 2021

As stated above, please keep in mind that for those who have only been on unemployment insurance since last spring, their payments are likely to be very low after September. And please check the news voluntarily to see how things are going in Congress at the federal level （ especially what is on the agenda in the first place. I think a number of those bills will be voted through or rejected ）.

In a worrisome and misleading way, as the vaccination process turns around in the US states, the unemployment insurance benefits and conditions will become more stringent. Since rent and prices are high in Hawaii, we hope you understand once again that it is in everyone's best interest to prepare some of your best plans as early as possible now, rather than panicking in September.

Finally. I have seen occasional posts that are looking for cache-only under-table work. There has been a very strict crackdown on under-tables in the last few years. If an under-table employer is reported, the employee will have their green card revoked and a lifetime record of violations on their social security number. Of course, unemployment insurance eligibility is also immediately voided. You never know where you will be reported, so please be careful to stay away from under-table employers if you are receiving unemployment insurance.
