To those of you who plan to cancel EB20,

I have heard many people say that the call center is completely disconnected. Moreover, even though the UI director announced in a video interview on January 15 that people who want to cancel EB20 should call the call center, the call center does not seem to accept cancellations.

Hence, I suggest you leave evidence by emailing the EB20 cancellation intent. I feel that we should give up on the call center and just wait for the introduction of the PEUC 11-week extension.

Be sure to include your name, the last four digits of your social security number, the address, phone number, and e-mail address you used to register your account in the e-mail. Also, please include the conformation number that was emailed to you when you applied for EB20.

Unempoyment Quality Control]

A randomly selected number of you will receive an email from the UI office titled "Quality Control Review Claimants Questionnaire".

The content of the email will read.
"You've been selected for a Quality Control review. Please see attached the documents for completion by ●/●/2021. As reported in the recent media news, the federal government's Department of Labor is going to investigate the UI office in Hawaii to check if the UI office employees are making the correct arrangements.

In Japanese, this is similar to an "audit" conducted by an accountant on a company. In other words, we are helping the federal government's Department of Labor audit the State of Hawaii's UI office.

So it is not a SCAM email, please submit the items specified in the email by the deadline （ Submissions include passport, driver license, social security card, etc ）. Please check your e-mail box from time to time just in case it comes to your spam folder.

Federal Department of Labor, Hawaii UI ・ PUA office acts illegally They are also concerned that they are wasting Unemployment Insurance Funds by failing to identify applicants, so perhaps a review will be initiated. The recent PUA office's initiation of rules for sole proprietors to submit proof of income may be part of this. That's all for now, but after reading the painful and perplexing feelings of those of you who are in dire straits such as too long PENDING, etc., I have always felt that the UI office in the state of Hawaii has become so dysfunctional that slow Hawaiian time is no longer applicable. I have always felt that Quality Control is a really good thing because it will give the UI office a chance to improve.

To those of you who
have been approved for a 13-week PEUC extension after waiting more than a month for a PENDING

Overpayment payment
To those of you who have been approved for a 13-week PEUC extension

[Please]

Even now Many of you are still waiting for the approval of your PEUC 13-week extension. Even though the PEUC 11-week extension for those who have exhausted their PEUC account balance will start soon, they are still unable to apply for the extension.

We believe that you can best understand the pain and stress of the long wait for approval. Please move it to the "PEUC not yet approved" topic and share the information in a timeline style. ？ Thank you very much.

（ Example ）
●May●:Apply for 13 weeks extension of PEUC
●May●:Call UI office for reminder
●May●:Overpayment payment received and paid
●May●:Approved
●May●Day:Deposit

*I would appreciate it if you could advise them how many times you contacted the UI office to urge them and how you said.

*We would appreciate it if you could advise them which method of payment contact you received, mail, email or phone.

How UI office contacted overpayment]

Recent （ Within 3 months back from today ） I went through again the examples of how UI office contacted applicants, not only for PEUC 13 weeks extension but also for PEUC 11 weeks extension and EB20. This is relevant not only for the PEUC 13 week extension but also for the PEUC 11 week extension and EB20, so please refer to this for future reference.

● Calls and asks how you want to pay
↑
Various suggestions such as "deduct from your account balance ？", "deduct from future weekly filing payments ？", "pay by check ？" It seems that you will be offered a variety of suggestions. If you agree to deduct the amount from your weekly filing, the amount will be displayed in the Details section under the title "Overpayment Offset Deduction".

●Payment notification letter will be sent by mail
↑
Someone tried to send a check unilaterally without waiting for the letter, but it was not accepted and the issue could not be resolved, so please wait until you receive the letter.

●A phone call comes and instructs you to apply for Reactivate a Claim or File a Claim Certification
↑
The adjuster adjusts the applicant's account in the system. Please do not try to apply until you receive a phone call.

*We re-share the previous announcement from the UI director regarding overpayment.

If the overpayment is due to intentional false filing, the PEUC application will be reviewed for approval. In this case, please contact the call center and they will tell you that the application is being reviewed. If it is determined that you have filed a false application, your UI account will be banned for two years. If you are misled by the false filing, please contact the Legal Aid organization in Hawaii.

That's all I have to say, but again, in looking for examples, there are absolutely no cases where the overpayment process was completed quickly by the applicant contacting them, and they are just told to wait for the adjuster to contact them. The call center staff does not have the authority to process overpayments, and the adjuster seems to be in charge.

[Regarding the $300 FPUC per week]

Those with UI account balances, those with PEUC 13-week extended account balances, and those with EB20 accounts have begun receiving their payments as soon as their weekly filing from the January 2 close shows "processed".

However, only a small percentage of those who fall into the above categories are still eligible, so it appears that the UI office has not started disbursing payments to all eligible individuals at once, but is working on a rolling basis.

Please do not rush and see how things go this week and next week.

[reposted]

If people have comments or complaints about the UI Office, as we told you in #731 of the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 Week Extension Program" Topic and #156 of the "PEUC 11 Week Extension Program （ PEUC 2nd ）" Topic, Hawaii Please apply directly to the government.

Personally, I think that if you gather together a large number of your colleagues and friends and appeal to the federal government's Department of Labor, which is a third party, and the Hawaii State Legal Aid organization, which has the power to influence the federal government, you will have a better chance of being taken seriously.

As long as people think "someone will sue on my behalf," there will be no improvement. Also, while it is important to voice your opinions and complaints, what is more important is "action".

It is a good idea to send a letter signed jointly by representatives introducing themselves and explaining in detail what problems they are encountering with the UI office in each case （ If you do not clearly identify yourself with your full name and address, the federal government and legal aid organizations will not let you through. Aid organizations may not be able to go through you if your full name and address are not clear ）.

[About the Details display]

I have a new share to share. Randomly selected people will be contacted by the UI office to request a report on their job search, and those who do not respond to the contact will receive the following indication. Contact can be made by phone, email, or mail.
↓
Pending decision as to whether you did not report as scheduled for ERI.

ERI stands for Eligibility Review Interview. At this time, Governor Ige has not yet declared you exempt from job search activities for this year.

Also on page 3 of the handbook:
https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/files/2018/11/UI-Benefits-Handbook-UC-266-Rev-3.4.19.pdf

I am only speculating based on the description in the handbook, but it may be that those who are not working at all, other than temporarily laid off, short time or part time, will be selected to submit a report. Those who are totally unemployed and not working may want to register with Hirenet just to be safe.

Also, you will receive emails from companies through Hirenet inviting you to join their team. If the job description is not suitable for you, it may be safer to reply with a reasonable reason instead of ignoring the e-mail.

There has been a sudden increase in the number of applicants who are getting this indication, most likely due to the effects of the federal government's on-site inspection.

Thank you for all the detailed information.

I have been pending since the end of October and still have not received my UI before PEUC.
The reason for the pending is that my EAD （ work permit ） which comes with my E-2 visa only, has expired. Of course I was able to renew within the time frame and I have been sending the same documents regularly by email as mentioned in the previous topics (topics #394, #396, #417). I have also been calling daily （ the old number and the newly added one for non-English speaking people ） but I can never get through. I'm told that if I call 200 times a day I can get a connection, but I've been trying to call at least 100 times a day, but I'm losing my patience.

I thought about sending documents by mail, but I heard that there have been incidents of mail being lost, and even though I can track that I received the documents, I don't know if I really read them, so I am using e-mail. I am also thinking that I have no choice but to wait because I am sure that I am now inundated with more calls, including PEUC and EB20 cases, but it has been three whole months now and I am getting numb to the situation.


If I had received my original unemployment insurance in order, my balance would have been zero by now and I could have applied for PEUC.

Should I still keep calling, wait for them to call me back, or mail the documents?
If I wait and if my application is approved, I may wait a little longer if I can get the proper amount of money without excess or deficiency, but I am worried that there is a possibility of termination if the budget runs out.

I would be very grateful for your advice.
Thank you very much.

Nohana,

For those I advised about EAD updates, they were caught in the mail; it takes 2 weeks at the earliest for the UI office to receive and update them, and a month at the latest.

Email is just luck to get noticed. Even more so now that there must be a daily flood of email inquiries about overpayment for PEUC 11-week extension, EB20, and PEUC 13-week extension.

（ #794 continued ） ]

Even though everything after January 2 is marked as "processed", only the payment for the payment due January 9 is paid, or only the payment for the payment due January 16 is paid, etc. It seems that the payment is not made all at once from the last day of January 2 to the last day of January 16.

This is also something that the UI office is working on sequentially, so please do not be hasty and wait and see.

I'll share my timeline until PEUC is accepted.
① 9/20/2020 26 weeks end.
② 9/22/2020 PEUC application.
③ For a while, I can't even type the bl-weekly date on the screen. After a long time, I open the screen and find that the date is showing ！ ④ I was able to apply for 11/7/2020. \모듈을 내(1st PEUC application ^^) → Received on 11/9/2020
⑤ Applied for 11/14/2020 → Received on 11/15/2020
⑥ Now that I've been temporarily laid off, I'm fully unemployed ^^(laid off ^^). Reactivate a Claim on 11/20/2020. *By the way, the questions at this time were the same as the ones in EB20. Moreover, the name of the company and the date of resignation were not included in the questions, which made me uneasy, but since I could not get through to the phone, I could not confirm the information and left it at that.
⑦ File a Claim Certification the next day on 11/21/2020. \모듈을 보려(This is a WEEKLY application until now. )→ Pending continues. Finally received on 12/13/2020
⑧ Apply WEEKLY on 11/28/2020. (File a Claim Certification) → Pending continues and received on 12/23/2020
⑨ 12/2/2020 → Pending continues and received on 12/14/2020
⑩ 12/12/2020 → Received on 12/14/2020

After that, things went smoothly and I have now completed my 12 week application. I had never been able to get through to anyone on the phone during the PEUC application process, and I was starting to feel a bit anxious and half-hearted, but after reading all the information on this exchange forum set up by Sunset, I found many things that I was able to handle beforehand even though I am not very good at English or computers. For example, I did not do Reactivate a Claim and File a Claim Certification on the same day. I was able to come this far with the help of your information.
Thank you so much, Sunset, and everyone else. And Vivinavi.

We are all going through a lot with this corona pandemic, but let's be patient and not get too anxious ！.

[$300 FPUC weekly （ #794, #802 continued ） ]

It appears that those who have used up their PEUC account balance and are waiting for their PEUC 11-week extension have also started receiving their payments.

The UI office may be paying everyone in order rather than all at once for all closings, so those who have not yet been paid should wait and see.

1099 forms for tax returns, but
as expected, there are many errors in the amounts.

If you see any errors, please contact the call center. According to the person who shared the information with us, the call center has instructed us that we need to put the 1099 form wrapped in an envelope in the drop box for the Department of Taxation in the building where the UI office is located. And they also need to continue to follow up with the call center.

Instructions may change along the way, so please contact the call center first.

Dear SUNSET and everyone,

I received my 1099 FORM for FY2020 today, Saturday morning, January 30.
The amount of UNEMPROYMENT COMPENSATION was astounding, so I immediately LOG IN to my UI to check it.
I recalculated all the payments
from the date of the first UI payment to the end of December in CLAIM INQUIRY （ as follows ）
☆ the amount of UI itself ＋. SPECIAL FEDERAL PAYMANT （ ＄ 600X17 times for myself ） ＋ LWA （ ＄ 300X6 times ）
total pay total was accurate. I checked and there was no mistake.
So, if you have received a 1099 FORM in hand, I recommend that you recheck your total pay history to date, even if it takes a few minutes.
