↑ "I was furloughed after last year's corona outbreak and have been receiving UI for a long time, but after my PEUC expired my claim showed up with a disqualified status."
I think it is because the Benefit Year End expired ？

"My understanding is that your UI eligibility has expired because you have not worked a full 3 months from April to June 2020. ？ Is this understanding correct?"

#443 [Cases where Initial Claim application cannot be filed]

If you are still unsure, we recommend that you ask the call center to explain the situation.

"My second question is, it is not illegal to work full time at another company while furloughing at my current company ？ Do I have to leave my current company ？ This is a very strange question, but I have living expenses and I want to keep my furloughed position while I need money to live on, so I'm going to keep my furloughed job and look for a job at another company."

According to the article, it is not illegal to work full time, but it is necessary to check with the respective employer or HR in advance if it is against company policy to work for a competitor.

For example, if you are Furlough at a travel agency, it would be safer not to take a job at another travel agency that is a competitor.

I'll copy and paste part of the article:
In most cases, you'll be free to look for any kind of new job while you're on furlough, However, your employer could have restrictions on the type of new work you

For example, your employer may restrict you from searching for work with a direct hire worker. Rules may be more strict if your employer is still paying for your health insurance and other

Also, the longer the corona effect lasts. The longer it lasts, the more likely it is that the employer will further reduce labor costs, so it may be important to actively communicate with the employer or manager of the workplace that is furloughing you on a regular basis in order to avoid being subject to complete layoffs.

Thank you Sunset for your detailed answer. I have also read the other numbers you wrote in the other topic you introduced.
In 391, I probably fall into the category of a iguana (3 iguans) and there is a big possibility of a complete revocation. I guess I was naive, I thought I would receive UI since it is fourough. My boss also told me that I would still get unemployment insurance, so I would be fine. But UI doesn't last forever. It is a fairly well-known travel agency and I have many colleagues who have become fourough. I also lost my health insurance and in fact I am now without insurance. Thank you Sunset, I really appreciate your help.

Dear Sunset, thank you very much for your kind reply. First of all, I applied for UI on 9/5 for the week that ended on 9/4. 9/7 I made an Initial claim （ I don't know if it was the second or third time ） At first it was FILED, then it changed to PENDING, and the morning I posted this topic it was DISQUALIFIED. I emailed the unemployment office to ask why it was DISQUALIFIED. Thank you very much for the topic number. I have read the previous and following topics as well. There were a lot of difficult parts that I could not understand, but maybe my Furlough period was less than 18 months, but I was receiving UI benefits for close to that time. On top of that, I think I may have fully lapsed （ forfeited ） my UI Benefit because I only worked for this company for 2 years. I will wait for an email response from the unemployment insurance office and also try by phone. But the phone has been totally disconnected for 2 days now.
Thank you also for the information about the job at the other company. I am going to try to find a job in a completely different field, as other companies in the same industry are not likely to hire unless the Japanese tourists come back. I have 20 years left until I retire and I am a single mother, so I will be looking for my next job anyway. I wish I had known about Vivinavi earlier. But thank you very much Sunset ！!

UI offices are cautious about email consultations regarding complex cases and tend not to reply to emails.

It seems unlikely that they will reply regarding your second Initial Claim application, which will determine your future.

I suggest you try to make an appointment online. See #439 in the same topic.

Thank you very much Sunset. I will try to book online. I will print topi ＃ 439. I will investigate until I am satisfied that there is even the slightest chance. I have been so carefree, which is the reason why I am UPSET now in the first place. Knowledge is power. I am very grateful for your calm advice.

Allie,

If you submitted your second Initial Claim application on September 7, you may want to wait for the letter in the mail, as you will surely receive a letter with an explanation of the review results eventually.

Please continue to be a positive mom, because your children are watching your back as you silently work hard.

Dear sunset and everyone
thank you for all the information.

I have received a Disqualified letter after filing my second initial claim and I have a question about it.

In my case, I was furloughed in June 2020, started receiving unemployment insurance, was laid off the first week of August, and my unemployment insurance ended on September 4 of this year, and I was paid from April to September 2020, my base period, so
I filed a second initial claim. I just received a letter yesterday saying I did not meet the benefit requirements.

It says that since I first started receiving unemployment insurance, I have not earned more than 5 times my WBA $ 3195, so it is invalid, but
the conditions for unemployment insurance benefits are that I must have earned more than 2 times my WBA in the base period (the first 4 quarters of the last 5 quarters before unemployment, or the last 4 quarters), the employer must have paid unemployment insurance premiums during two quarters.
that 26 times the Weekly Benefit Amount ™ (Weekly Benefit Amount, WBA™) has been paid for each week during the Base Period.
I called the UI office, but I can't seem to get through. If you could help me here, that would be very helpful.
By the way, my total income for July, August and September was $ more than 3159.
Total income from April to September was also 26 times the WBA ＄ over 16614.
However, from April to the end of September, the paychecks were not deposited every week.

Below is an excerpt from the letter in English.

After the beginning of your prior benefit year 06/07/20, you did not work in covered employment for which you were paid wages of at least $ 3195.00 (five times your benefit amount of $ 639.00).
As you failed to meet the qualifying wages requirement for the succeeding benefit year, your claim is invalid.

1173,
To all who received the same reason letter,

I shared it in #412 and #481 of the "PEUC September Extension Program （ Third PEUC ）" Topic, but I will note it here as well.

The requirements for a second Initial Claim application after September must meet the following ① to ④

① The benefit end year date of your most recent regular UI claim must have passed

② You must have returned to work and been paid at least 5 times your new weekly benefit amount since the first day of your prior initial claim

③ You must have been paid wages in at least two quarters of your base period

④ You must have been employed and paid wages for insured work during the base period in an amount equal to no less than 26 times your new weekly benefit amount

Furlough in May （ Furlough ） and Layoff in first week of August （ Total Unemployment ） In the case of 1173 who became Totally Unemployed , he was Disqualified because he could not meet the ② first condition due to lack of work income from re-employment after he became Totally Unemployed. The call center would probably explain the same thing.

If you have been temporarily laid off or become totally unemployed due to the pandemic and have never worked since unemployment insurance benefits started, it is very unlikely that your second Initial Claim application will be approved after September, as the UI office had also officially announced.

In addition, those who received unemployment insurance benefits while working part time or shorter hours are also expected to be disqualified or receive a small WBA if they file a second Initial Claim after September.
