Mikimahalo, nice to meet you.

For furloughs, the Separation Option is "Temporary Layoff", not "Laid off Lack of Work". The "Laid off Lack of Work" option is for a complete layoff. If you have already submitted an Initial Application, please contact the UI office to have it corrected. Please see this link in Q&A of the UI system for your reference.

"UI Complaint I am entering a UI claim, but am I correct in answering NO to the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Did you look for work? ？"
↓
Be sure to answer YES, because if you answer NO, you will be considered unwilling to work and all your claims will be rejected. Please be careful.

"Also, the Last day worked you answered in #6, I meant 4/30/2020 when I worked from home. Is this the correct date in this case ？"
↓
4/30/2020 is fine, when the actual work, the home work, took place.

Mr. SUNSET

Thank you for taking the time to answer my rudimentary question.
I haven't filed a claim yet, it's supposed to start on 1/3, so I'm filing for the week ending 1/9 at first ？

Let me ask another question to the answer you gave.
> For Temporary Layoff Furlough, the Separation Option is "Temporary Layoff", not "Laid off Lack of Work".
There was no Temporary Layoff option.

・ Laid off lack of work
・ Discharge
・ Suspended
・ Quit
・ Honoring Picket Line
・ Directly involved Strike/Lockout
・ Work not Available due to Strike

I checked with my husband and he said Laid off~ not ？. … I'm really grateful to Sunset because my husband is unreliable.

When I first applied to UI, I set the Last day worked as 3/19, but is it OK to set it as 4/30 in this application ？
There is a 1 month gap between the last day worked and the last day of work at home. The notice sent to me reminded me to work from home.

It is really great to see you giving appropriate advice to so many people. Thank you.

"Since it starts on 1/3, you are filing for the week ending 1/9 at first ？"
↑
If it is Weekly instead of Bi-weekly, the filing deadline of January 9 has passed, so Reactivate a Claim You must apply for a Reactivate a Claim. Please read #664 and #732 in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13-Week Extension Program" Topic. if it is due January 16, the filing period is from January 17 （ Sunday ） through January 23 （ Saturday ）.

"Temporary Layoff option was not available."
↑
I recall that the UI office renewed the option in the middle of the day. Temporary Layoff only applies to "Laid off Lack of Work", so that's fine. If in your weekly filing you see "Were you still employed by the ● company as of ●/●/2021?" then temporary layoff is a YES answer.

"When I filed my first application with UI, I set the Last day worked to 3/19. Is it ok to set it to 4/30 for this application ？"
↑
The UI office basically requires up to date information. I think 4/30 is fine since the UI office basically requires up-to-date information, but please inquire just to be sure.

Dear Sunset,

HR's outsourcing partner has changed since 1/1/2021, minijumbo.
A few concerns have come up.
Sorry, please let me know again.

I completed my Reactivate a claim application to leave Company A on 1/12/2021, and
I successfully completed my Reactivate a Claim application to add Company B on 1/19/2021.
So, I think I am going to File a Claim Certification now,
Company A will be changed to Company B as shown below, right?

EMPLOYED-Company B (Was:Company A)
Did you refuse any from Company B ？
Were you still employed by Company B as of

As of today (1/20/2021), you are still employed by Company A, but if it is changed,
you will file a Claim Certification after the change is made, is that correct? If it will be changed, I will file a Claim Certification after the change, right?

minijumbo,

you are right, just before you click SUBMIT on File a Claim Certification or Reactivate a Claim application, open it and if Company A disappears and Company B is added, everything is done. （ Be careful not to click SUBMIT by accident ）.

It takes a few days for the UI office to update employer changes, not more than a week.

I should have originally completed the Reactivate a Claim application changing two employer information at once on the same day. Just to be safe, I sent an email to the email address for Language, "I finished the process of adding the Reactivate a Claim application on January 19, so please update it to add Company B by the morning of this Saturday （ ） the 23rd of this week. Otherwise, we will not be able to submit the File a Claim Certification application for the 23rd deadline. Please include your name, the last four digits of your social security number, the address where you registered your account, your telephone number, and your e-mail address. Please also include "Language: Japanese".

Dear Sunset

Thank you for all of your kindness and attention to detail.
I will email you as soon as possible.
I am really bowled over by the fact that Sunset is responding to all the things I don't understand about the UI
in a forum like this.
I have also looked at a lot of history, and I can't thank you enough.
Thank you so much.

I am new to UI and would like to know something.

If I do a claim certification for January 23, does it mean for the period of 17 to 23 days ？

My YOUR WEEKLY/BY WEEKLY CLAIM CERTIFICATION FILING I was confused because in the SCHEDULE table the 1ST SINGLE WEEK/(WEEK ENDING DATE) column says 01/23/2021 and the column to the right says (DATE TO FILE) 01/24/2021 TO 01/30/2021.
because the CLAIM CERTIFICATION question has WERE YOU AVAILABLE FOR WORK? and it is in the past tense, so I guess it is not about 24th-30th but for 17th-23rd ？
Sorry for the poor explanation! I am sorry for my poor explanation.
Please let me know if you know.
Thank you very much.

The 23rd deadline is the period from the 17th to the 23rd; for the 23rd deadline, the filing window is from the 24th （ Sunday ） to the 30th （ Saturday ）. The "Were you available for work?" question asks about the period from the 17th to the 23rd.

Since it sounds like you just started unemployment insurance, it would be a good idea to have a friend who has unemployment insurance and ask them to share their know-how and what you need to be aware of. Also, be sure to read the handbook so you don't make mistakes without knowing about them. It also has information on how to file.

Mr. SUNSET

Thank you very much for your very clear instructions ！
I see that there is a due date for filing as well, I will keep that in mind.
I will also refer to this forum as I proceed.
Thank you also for the link to the handbook.

Dear sunset

I took your advice and successfully started my application at UI. Thank you very much.
One question. My first application (~1/16) is still WAITING PERIOD, but I have also applied for the following week (~1/23).
I checked today and the initial WAITING PERIOD is still the same and the following week is PENDING.
(of course, I thought that would be the case since the first time was not processed)
How long does it take for the first time application to be processed ？
I would think something is amiss ？ … I was receiving this before. I am a little concerned because the PUA response was pretty quick.
Do you have any information on whether I should call them or wait a little longer?

Please read #352 in the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 Week Extension Program" Topic. If you see "Details not available", it may be a week or so before you see "Processed".

Also, please read through all the threads, starting with #732, in case any questions or concerns arise in the future. If you have friends who are receiving UI unemployment insurance, it would be a good idea to ask them to give you a rundown of the process from the time you first apply for unemployment insurance to the time you receive your payment.

UI and PUA are different agencies and systems with different jurisdictions, so take them as completely different.

Dear sunset

Thank you for your kindness in asking me about something so elementary.
My PUA application was denied last summer, mailed the documents to UI, applied online again … I am tired as it has already taken a lot of time.
I will look through the "PEUC Unemployment Insurance 13 week extension program" and other topics as well.

Dear sunset

Good evening. I am sorry it took me so long to see this. I heard that you have finished the manual. Many people are really helped by your giving spirit. Thank you so much. I checked my inbox after reading your wonderful post, but I didn't receive any particular email I would like to take a look at it if you don't mind.
Also, I received the payment from UI safely today. First of all, I am relieved.
Please keep up the good work.

We received the deposit from UI without incident.

I share the process, although it may not be necessary right now.

*I originally applied to the PUA initially because I started work in 2019/12.

2020/8 Received letter from PUA stating I was eligible for benefits at UI and PUA denied payment
↓
2020/8 Got advice here and sent letter to UI stating I was eligible for benefits at UI, GC copy, and 2021/1/4 I didn't hear anything by the end of the year, so I went online to file my first claim
↓
2021/1/8 I heard from the UI office and filed my GC copy, drivers license copy, SSC copy, etc. Contacted me and requested that I email them a copy of my GC, a copy of my driver's license, and a copy of my SSC
Sent the above and a letter of entitlement at UI from PUA to the designated email address
↓
2021/1/14 Receive letter of entitlement from UI
Claim online (1st week remains Waiting Period … Claim the following week and become Pending → Total 3 weeks
↓
2021/1 /26,27 2 weeks each Processed (Waiting Period remains the same)
↓
2021/1/28 1st payment is received (including $ 300 of Special Federal Payment)

Another week which is Processed will be credited in a few days.
It has been a very long 5 months since August. But I think it has been fast since I claimed at the beginning of the year lol. I always refer to suset and all your posts. Since we are in the tourism business, we still have a long way to go. Still, I'm going to spend my time being grateful to the company for treating me FURLOUGH and
keeping my insurance, etc. as it is, saying "I'll do my best so that everyone can come back".

mikimahalo,

I was late to notice.

Thanks for the detailed sharing. There are no shares on this forum about switching from PUA to UI, so the share from mikimahalo is very valuable. I am so glad that after a long road, the deposit finally started.

Dear sunset
Thank you so much. Here is one question. I finally got a smooth Claim and deposit to UI.
I used to file a claim every week until last week, but when I tried to file last week's claim (~2/6/13) this week,
You are filing too early.
Please return to the menu and check your dashboard for your filing schedule. I saw on another topic that someone else had the same Biweekly
on 1/24 with a PEUC Claim. I tried to contact them by phone but could not get through at all …
I am writing to you to see if you have any information.
If it is Biweekly, I understand that I have to Claim every other week for 2 weeks separately.

mikimahalo,

glad to hear your deposit is smooth. This one means that it is now Bi-weekly.

You are filing too early. the week claimed does not match your designated filing period.
Please return to the menu and check

The UI office decides when to switch, and it cannot be changed to weekly at the request of the applicant. Please read the handbook for more information on how to file Bi-weekly.
