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.

Sandy,

Thank you for sharing this valuable information ！ I really appreciate your detailed follow-up report in your personal email.

I think the information from Sandy is very encouraging for those who are trying to restart their own private business as a side business and for those who are trying to start a new private business.

I sincerely support Sandy to get her business back on track day by day.

Dear Sunset and everyone

It has been a while since I have posted.

Someone in a similar position （ whose main job is Lay Off, a side business and sole proprietorship ） has recently talked to UI staff （ who are not call center staff but are in a position to correct mistakes etc ） and asked a similar question, and he was told something completely different than what he ＃ wrote in 10.

The staff member he spoke with seemed to say that he only needed to report the number of hours he worked in his private practice, not his income.

The answer to the question "Did you receive residual pay, commissions or other deductible income such as bonuses, or back pay? "* is "No".
because this means salary, etc. received from a past or present Employer （ ）.


So, ＃ the information I wrote in 10 could be wrong ・ ・ ・ this is also what the call center person told me, but if I have put wrong information. My apologies.

Who should I believe in the end, since different call center staff say different things ？ ？ .

Sandy,

There is no need to apologize, as this is an oversight on the part of the call center, which is in a position to disseminate correct information. The problem of disjointed advice from the call center has happened before, so there is no need to worry about it. The position to correct mistakes is probably Adjuster. You could ask through the call center to strongly persist and ask the Adjuster to connect you as is ？.

Thank you Sunset, I am very happy to hear from you.
（ For some reason I got an error when I tried to write, so I am Sandy1's handle, but I am the same person as Sandy. ）

Still, the problem is that the call center people are not consistent in what they say.
I am turned off by that.

I have reported my personal business income based on what I was advised in #10.
I'm stressed that this will cause my Claim to be inconsistent and Pending to be prolonged.
Since I am already 4 months Pending ・ ・ ・. No calls at all.

I have also called the call center but they are not connecting any more than before.
I hope the problem will be resolved soon.

In a little over a month, my 52 week Benefit Year will be over.
I am also worried about what will happen if my Benefit Year ends while PEUC13 is Pending.

Nice to meet you and thank you for sharing your valuable information.

I am in a similar situation as Sandy.
I recently had income from a private business for 2 weeks and I applied with the help of this information.


The first week was less than my weekly income, but it was Pending.
Also, the details said PENDING DECISION ON YOUR ABILITY AND AVAILABILITY FOR WORK.

The following week it was DISQUALIFIED because the amount received per week was exceeded.
And REPORTED EARNINGS OF $ ＊ ＊ IS GREATER THAN YOUR WEEKLY BENEFIT AMOUNT OF $ ＊ ＊ .
PENDING DECISION ON YOUR ABILITY AND AVAILABILITY FOR WORK
.


I am worried that this will be terminated as I have no plans to receive any income for some time to come.
Please let me know if you have any further information.

Mr. Mango

Even if the income for the week exceeds the weekly UI amount and is disqualified, if there is no income for the following week, I think it is safe to continue to file because you said that you can continue to file if there is no income again.

Sandy, Mango,

The UI office can look at the work history with the applicant's social security number, so it is possible that this indication means that they need to look at the private business record and investigate whether it is UI or PUA eligible. I think.

PENDING DECISION ON YOUR ABILITY AND AVAILABILITY FOR WORK

I still think you should ask the call center if they have anything to submit regarding your private business. Also, if you can get through to the adjuster, I would suggest that you ask them to correct the past filing on the spot. It's hard to get through to the call center, but I have a feeling that the UI office will put it off if you keep waiting.

Mr. Sunset

called the office and inquired about the current situation.

I will share some of the content.

I explained my income to the office and they indicated that I had not been claimed for the week I explained. Furthermore, I was told that I would have to file an application if I worked as a sole proprietor.
However, I had the Confirmation Number with me, so I told them that and then explained the situation again, and they corrected it.
I am glad that I can continue my application again.

The office staff was patient and helpful.

I guess the best thing to do is to call them patiently ！

Thank you Sunset for your advice.

I am a UI recipient, but I was also a sole proprietor, so I received an email for MEUC.
I proceeded to apply and found that
the requirement is that I must have received UI and PEUC from December 27, 2020, and
in my case, although I applied for the 1st PEUC in November after my UI ended,
I had over 7 months of UI overpayment and the 1st PEUC I have been in a situation where my first PEUC has not been working at all for more than 7 months due to UI overpayment,
so I thought that I do not fit into this eligibility period.
I think I will call you on a weekday, but
I know you may be one of the few here, but
there were some people like me who are sole proprietors and
UI, PEUC recipients, so
please share the progress of this MEUC. I would be very happy if you could share the progress of this MEUC.
Please do so.
