Please excuse the length of this message.

I made
initial claim a few weeks ago for 5/3Benefit year end and it was processed for 2 consecutive weeks without any problem, but last week's claim was disqualified due to the following reasons.
REPORTED EARNINGS OF $ ***IS GREATER THAN YOUR WEEKLY BENEFIT AMOUNT OF $ ***

Partial work is a fixed number of days each week and does not fluctuate. I checked with the company and they confirmed that the reports are in agreement with each other.
Yesterday, I received a call from a woman at the UI office
asking me to call her back by 3:30 on 5/21 with some questions about my
Pending receipt (it was pending until yesterday), but she left her direct number on my voicemail.
I called the number and was not able to speak to the person in charge. And when I got home today, I received an approval letter from the UI office showing that my WBA had dropped by over $100, so maybe that is why I was disqualified this week ？ However, the Amount of $ *** in the Detail of this week's Disqualify is still $3,000, so I am not sure. of *** was the previous WBA.
In #21, $ I understood that if there is a difference of 25 or more, the previous WBA can be sustained, but I wonder if the rules are different if you are working on a partial. ？ If it is impossible to overturn a disqualify, I would like to give up this week and see what happens next week.

Moco,

Not much advice, but it is a good thing that the UI office bothered to contact you, it may have something to do with the WBA dropping over $100. Did the staff member mention your name on the answering machine ？ If so, why not ask the call center or Language Access email contact to look for you?

[Joint Press Conference]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has summarized the contents of yesterday's joint press conference between Governor Ige and UI Director Anne, and we excerpt the important parts （ ① through ⑦ ）.

① Job Search report submissions will begin with weekly filings ending June 5

② The rule for submitting Job Search reports in weekly filings is that if you submit the same report in the following week that you submitted in the previous week, you will be required to submit the same report in the following week.

③ Only those who are totally unemployed （ Laidoff ） are eligible for Job Search. Those who are Temporary Layoff （ Furlough ）, Short-Term （ Partial Claims ）, or in a union with job placement services are not eligible for Job Search
↑
. sunset comment:
As stated in Governor Ige's official announcement letter, it appears that the condition for Job Search exemption is that you are enrolled in a job where you once worked as a full time employee. In other words, those who are working part-time （ Part-total Claims ） after being totally unemployed from their full-time jobs or who were totally unemployed part-time due to the Corona impact are likely to be eligible for Job Search.

④ Job Search includes "registering on Hirenet", "researching jobs", "submitting a resume", and "getting an interview"
↑
sunset comment:
In short. I think the nuance is that if you are able to complete and submit the three job search activities through the above steps, you are OK. The information provided by those who wrote in #227 and #228 of this topic is also very helpful. Also, it is very likely that the UI office will check whether you are registered with Hirenet or not, so please register immediately.

⑤ Failure to show up for an interview with a company will disqualify you from unemployment insurance, and the UI Office will use the Job Search reports submitted by unemployment insurance recipients to investigate each company
↑
sunset Comment:
According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, there used to be a number of unemployment insurance recipients who would engage in this type of intentional behavior. The UI office is following up on the labor report impersonation illegal activity, and will be following up on this one as well, so be sure to go to the interview if you are called for one.

⑥ New website hawaiiunemploymentinfo will be updated with information for employers and unemployment insurers
↓
sunset comment:
link to It will be here.
https://www.hawaiiunemploymentinfo.com/work-search/

⑦ "RESEA" and "Quality Control" as part of Job Search requirements Assessment" are also included
↑
sunset comment:
The process is for those called by the UI office to respond. For more information, please read #965 for RESEA and #789 for Quality Control Assessment in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 Week Extension Program" Topic.


In the end, it is not easy to submit a Job Search Report in Hawaii, a small island with an overwhelming number of jobs in English-speaking countries.

However, hotels, bus companies, and tour companies that are reopening their doors to mainland tourists must be looking ahead to the eventual return of Japanese tourists. Even if at first glance, the job does not recruit Japanese staff, if you can show that you can speak Japanese, you may be able to catch their attention among the resumes of English-speaking applicants who are pouring in.

Some employers abuse their authority, so please read #216 in this topic carefully and be careful not to get involved.

If you are not confident about submitting this Job Search report, we strongly recommend that you do not worry about it alone, but share information with your fellow former colleagues and help each other.

Those who have been temporarily laid off or had their hours shortened may not be alone. The longer the Corona problem in Japan drags on, the more employers who are having difficulty maintaining operations in Hawaii may further reduce labor costs or go bankrupt. With this in mind, we recommend that you keep an eye on the new rules that the UI office is putting in place, as we have seen in this case.

If I see a Job Fair that you recommend, I will post it in this topic. Please try to help each other by sharing information if you have any.

Dear Sunset
Thank you for sharing this valuable information.
Sorry to sidetrack your conversation with Mr. Moco, but is Language Access at the UI office the contact point for Japanese interpretation services? ？

In the following page, there is a section that says Language Access: This email address is for those who would like to request language assistance from UI... But the important email address is not displayed on my phone screen.

I wrote to you the other day
but I would like to mention it again.

Hello.
I was wondering if you could tell me if you know anything about this.

This is about a colleague of mine, and I have been wondering about this
for a long time, so if anyone can help me, please let me know.

I worked at a hotel and was laid off in June.
Today I got a call from the hotel where my colleague was laid off and
they offered me a barista position ？ to come.
（ His previous position was housekeeper. ）
He turned it down because he was offered a completely different and totally unknown position.

Will this hinder his UI in the future ？

I understand that at Farlow, if you turn down a job, your UI is rejected, but
once you are laid off and turn down a job in a completely different department from the same hotel
Will it affect my UI ？

Please help.

This is just my personal opinion, but as long as you have not applied to that hotel for job placement assistance, it would not affect your unemployment insurance.

In past cases, people who turned down or ignored offer letters after submitting a Resume, ignored interview dates, or did not show up for interviews were reported to the UI office by the employer and their unemployment insurance was voided.

Last year, the larger companies tended to report to the UI Office, but the UI Office is calling on each company now more than ever, so we expect to see more small companies in the future.

I have always been helped by this site.
Especially sunset your information has helped me many times. Thank you very much.

I am currently working on unemployment insurance after the company I was working for laid me off and I found a new part time job.
I wonder if my situation is still eligible for the job search ？
I know that it starts from the end of June 5, but if I don't start looking for a job next week, I won't be able to meet the claim on June 5.
If I submit a job application through indeed or Vivinavi, how do I submit a report?
I asked this question because I don't know how to report or what to do next.

happy11,

"I am currently working while receiving unemployment insurance after the company I worked for laid off me and I found a new part time job. Am I still eligible for job search ？?"
↑
Yes. Governor Ige and Anne commented that the only people who are exempt from job search are those who are enrolled in a job where they used to work full time.

Originally "unemployment insurance" was a benefit to help people live until they found full time work. After Corona, "unemployment insurance" was given a special exemption from job search, but this time it was a return to the pre-Corona unemployment insurance rules.

"How do I report if I submitted an application through indeed or Vivinavi Job Search?"
↑
I think the process is to fill out the form as described in #232 of this topic. I don't know how to enter 3 Job Search as I don't use a UI account right now and have never done a job search report, but I think the entry points will probably come up automatically in the weekly filing. Please share information with this Topic and other former colleagues on how to enter the information.

"Are you saying it doesn't matter if I look outside of Hirenet Hawaii?"
↑
Perhaps the UI office would like you to look for jobs through Hirenet first, but if you don't see a job you want, it is fine to look elsewhere. As for Hirenet, it is very likely that the UI office will check to see if you are registered.

It may be a system failure, but it seems that the thread numbers are reversed in each topic in this exchange plaza, or the same thread numbers are lined up in a row. Please understand.

Dear Sunset

I was working part time and was receiving unemployment insurance after being laid off due to the closing of my office in Corona. Since the beginning of the year, the office has partially reopened and I am working shorter hours. Will I still lose my unemployment insurance if I don't find a job?

Also, one of the questions in my weekly report asks
Have you looked for work ？
How many ？
Do you have a record ？
and I answer
Yes , 3+ , Yes.
is this a system problem ？
can you please tell me ？

Kai,
To those of you working only part time,

please read through ① through ③ below.

① Please re-read the excerpts from Gov. Ige's formal announcement at the link in this Topic #228 （ If you have not yet read the full formal announcement, please be sure to read it for yourself ）.
↓
The reinstated job search requirement applies to individuals who have lost their full-time jobs and are on regular unemployment Individuals who are still attached to their regular full-time employer, are members of a union that provides job placement services, or are receiving Individuals who are still attached to their regular full-time employer, are members of a union that provides job placement services, or are receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits are not mandated by law to meet the job search

It states that those who are exempt from Job Search are "enrolled in a workplace where they worked full time," "are members of a union that provides job placement services, or are receiving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA ) benefits are not mandated by law to meet the job search requirement. It appears that people other than these are eligible for Job Search.

If those who are unemployed part time and receiving unemployment insurance were also exempt from Job Search, they would have been clearly stated in Governor Ige's formal announcement statement and in the joint press conference, but there was no comment at all.

② Please also read the "Part-total Claims" section on page 7 of the Handbook. Part-total Claims" refers to those who work only part time. It says that you need to report your appliers in your weekly filing.
↓
https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/files/2018/11/UI-Benefits-Handbook-UC-266-Rev-3.4.19.pdf

Part-time until now It seems that the unemployment insurance was a special measure by Corona to provide unemployment insurance to those who were unemployed, and this time it is a return to the pre-Corona unemployment insurance rules.

③ Perhaps this section will be "input required" for those eligible for Job Search starting with the weekly filing ending June 5.
↓
Did you look for work ？
How many did you contact ？
Do you keep the record ？

Corona Special While everyone was exempted from Job Search due to the measure, the three questions above seemed to appear unnecessarily （ The reason they appeared unnecessarily was because the UI system was out of date ）. Perhaps the UI Office will upgrade the UI system and set the three questions from the weekly filing ending June 5.

That's all I have to say, but I think it's really hard to find aplicants to find a full time job while working part time in these times. As I suggested in #267 of this Topic, switching to part time work may be one way to make a living.

Mikimahalo,

I only wrote what I could advise in #284 of this topic.

I have never used Hirenet and do not know it, so I refrain from giving advice. If you don't see any advice on this topic, please ask at the following contact point, which is right above the Hirenet homepage.
↓
For any HireNet Hawaii account questions, please contact the American Job Center of Hawaii:

Maui (808) 270-5777

I pray that we will see signs of recovery not only in the US but in other countries by the end of this year or next.

I was working part time 4 days a week, but was laid off from Corona and returned to the same job this year to work 2 days a week with on-call status and receive UI pay. Naturally, I will be required to look for 3 jobs starting 5/30, but I don't want to leave my current job and the company has told me they will put me back to my original schedule of 4 days a week once the office hours become normal. I would like to look for a part time job, but I am not sure if I can meet the 3 job requirement by looking for part time work ？ Also, even if I apply for 3 jobs and find a part time job, will I still be eligible for UI if I don't have enough to meet the WBA? ？ Or does it mean that if I find a job even if the salary is not enough to meet the WBA, the UI will stop ？ or do I need to continue my search for 3 more jobs ？ I don't understand the basics of the UI payment.

If anyone has actually been unemployed before Corona and has been job seeking three times a week, please let me know for reference.
First, you should print out the form （ https://labor.hawaii.gov/ui/files/2012/12/UC-253_Record_of_Job_Contacts.pdf ） to keep a record of your job search
each week, and each week that ？
You said that the timing of submission is random, but how many times have you been asked to submit the form in how long you have been job searching ？
And what is the method of submission? ？
Of course, things are different now than they were then, so I don't think it's exactly the same, but I simply wanted to hear from people who have done this job search before.
If anyone would like to share their story, please do.

We will start a new topic "Job Search Activities and Report Submission", so please move your questions and concerns about Job Search to the new topic.

I know you have questions and doubts about Job Search activities, but I and others are not sure about anything other than what has been officially announced.

Please ask the call center on your own first, and then share their advice with each other in the new Topic to reconfirm the accuracy of their advice.

As you all know, the problem of disjointed advice from call centers has been highlighted since last year due to the lack of functioning information sharing between UI directors and call center sites in the past. Please ask the call center on your own first, and then provide information to each other in the new Topic.

Also, whether the process will be the same as the pre-Corona Job Search submission method, or whether the system will be upgraded to the new submission method, we will know when the daily filing for the June 5 deadline begins.
