Sunset, I called UI today and to my surprise it connected on the second try and I was able to speak with the call center staff.
"I don't see anything wrong with my PEUC, so all I can say is wait and see, the Examiner may or may not contact you. The Examiner may or may not contact me, and I don't know how long I'll have to wait."
I am relieved to hear that they can't find any problems for now.

I also asked about private business ・ ・ ・ but apparently either my English was a problem or the staff did not understand me very well, because they said, "When you submit your next Weekly Certification, you will be asked to register as New Employer when I submit my next Weekly Certification".
My sole proprietorship has been a side job for years, so I am not a New Employer, and it is a mystery to me how I can register myself as an employer as a New Employer in the first place.
I said again, "I'm a sole proprietor, I'm not employed," and was told that I could give them a report as a Self employer and report my income.
I will call again next time and ask.

Sandy,

The first thing I would recommend is to keep your UI account open on your computer and ask the UI office staff on the phone how to enter the Claim a Certification application. If you are told that you also need to file a Reactivate a Claim application, please ask about that step as well while keeping your UI account open on the computer. If you are a sole proprietorship, you should also check to see if there is anything to submit.

As far as I know, both the Claim a Certification application and the Reactivate a Claim application were supposed to be entered for employees, and I don't recall seeing any entry points for sole proprietors.

The reason for the change of status also has "Still Employed", but I think the nuance is for employees, not for sole proprietors.

If the advice from the temporary staff seems suspicious, request that the Examiner check with them before the deadline date to submit the Claim a Certification application and call you back.

I don't know if the call center will respond to a request for a return call, as they are changing their methods a bit these days, and some of their temporary staff have their own quirks, but don't proceed with ambiguity until you know exactly what the correct arrangements are.

I wish you luck in getting this resolved quickly.

Today, my call was connected to the UI office. At first the staff who answered the phone didn't seem to understand, but I was put on hold for about 10 minutes and this is what I was told.
In conclusion, "Private business income is also reported in Gross. If that exceeds the weekly UI amount for the week, the UI will be Disqualified".

Were you self-employed during the week? * → Yes

Enter hours worked * → Number of hours

Did you receive residual pay, commissions or other deductible income such as bonuses, or back pay? Enter amount


I also checked "Gross is ？" to make sure, and it is "purely （ the amount received during the week from clients, etc. ） without deducting expenses, etc.
