Thank you for all your helpful information.

I have a question and emailed you.
I have been laid off since 4/2 last year. I have not worked since my termination, but this year I received my annual bonus payment from the company. In June of this year, I received an email from the UI office asking me to file an Initial Claim, but since I have not resumed work, I called UI and sent them my bonus statement as instructed, and my payments were immediately restored.
The payment ended on the 4th of September, and I filed an Initial Claim and the Confirmation Letter showed the amount allocated, but the payment was still Pending. Today, I called the UI office and was told that I was disqualified because I had not resumed work after being temporarily laid off. I called the UI office today and was told that I am Disqualified because I have not resumed work since I was laid off. I asked him what the difference was. I asked him what the difference was and he replied, "Because you contacted me honestly..." What an unreasonable reason. When I tried to say something more, he started yelling at me, and I didn't want to make it sound like I was telling them about a co-worker, so I ended the call. I understand that I am Disqualified because I did not meet the requirements set forth and I deserve it. I just don't think it's right that some people get it and some don't without proper investigation. Can I file such a complaint somewhere ？?

Hiropon,

"I received an email from the UI office in June this year asking me to make an Initial Claim, but since I had not resumed work, I called UI and sent my bonus statement as instructed and was immediately paid back to normal. I called UI and sent them the bonus details as instructed. The payment was made on the 4th of September and I filed an Initial Claim. Today, I called the UI office and was told that I was disqualified because I had not resumed work after being temporarily laid off. On the other hand, a coworker who worked on the exact same Title ™ as me (he is a manager, so he has the exact same amount of pay and situation) and has never returned to work as well, made an Initial Claim as of July and has been paid for 26 weeks from there."
↑
As far as I can read, the same manager colleague has more new WBA than the current WBA due to the $25 difference rule, so it is likely that his payment under the new WBA automatically started in July.

At the time of the PEUC program, those who applied for a second Initial Claim and had fewer new WBAs than current WBAs were automatically cancelled when they submitted a second Initial Claim application, or given the option to choose the current WBA and PEUC continuation. At that time, the new rules for the second Initial Claim application submitted after September had not been decided.

Just a point of curiosity, even though they are the same manager class, their respective salaries （ including bonus amount ） may be somewhat different depending on their start date of employment and manager history ？

"PEUC In the "$25 difference rule during the program", as Hiro Pon knows, the same workplace, the same position, and the same time of unemployment do not make all the results the same, and the results will be different depending on the amount of salary. The results will be different depending on the amount of salary.

"And you contacted me honestly..." This was a very unreasonable reason. When I tried to say anything more, the tone turned to yelling."
↑
It seems there is one staff member in the call center who gives answers that don't add up and has a yelling tone. It seems there are several locals who have been treated in the same manner. Since this has not happened for a while, I think it is probably a new staff member of the same person. Did you get the name of that staff member ？ I would suggest you give Legal Aid Hawaii the number, day, and time you called.

"Is UI really doing an investigation ？ I am not convinced and feel bad. Can we file such a claim somewhere ？ Can we file such a claim somewhere ？"

Legal Aid Hawaii.

You can submit it by clicking on "Online Intake" at https://www.legalaidhawaii.org.

If you do not need an interpreter, call.
808-536-4302
9:00 am-11:30 am or 1:00 pm-3:30 pm, Monday-Friday.

Just keep in mind, we don't want to "speculate" that because they are in the same managerial class they are paid the same. You need to have "proof". Without that documented proof, Legal Aid is unlikely to move against the UI office. However, even if you name the manager's colleagues, Legal Aid Hawaii, the UI office, and HR in the workplace have a duty of confidentiality regarding their personal information, so the "evidence" line risks being counterproductive.

So, my suggestion is to focus on your own Unemployment Insurance History and ask yourself if you would have had more new WBA than current WBA if you had filed a second Initial Claim in June ？ When you reported your bonus statement, did the UI office What if you ask the UI office through Legal Aid Hawaii to investigate how the UI office processed the continuation of the PEUC program when you reported your bonus statement? As we have shared in past topics, last year Legal Aid Hawaii asked the federal Department of Labor to take a closer look at the Hawaii State UI Office because of its sloppy handling of the situation. The audit by the federal Department of Labor has improved the setup in the UI office.

However, in light of recent cases of the UI Office mistakenly sending approval letters to people who have never resumed work, I personally believe that the UI Office in Hawaii should be penalized by the federal Department of Labor.

I think it is not a waste of time to have your voice heard by Legal Aid Hawaii.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Just wondering, even though they are the same manager class, their respective salaries （ including bonus amount ） may be different depending on their starting time of employment and manager history ？
"$25 during PEUC program In the "difference rule", as you know, Mr. Hiroppon, the same workplace, same position, and the same time of unemployment do not make all the results the same, and the results will be different depending on the amount of salary. The results will be different depending on the amount of salary.

↑ Our manager titles are unfortunately paid exactly the same salary. Also, the bonuses paid are exactly the same. My colleague does not have a second job either. The situation is exactly the same as mine. I am sure this is because we have discussed this with each other since we started applying for UI. The only difference between the two of us is that when I received the July Initial Claim email, I did not do it and call the UI office and honestly tell them that I have never gone back to work and she did not do it and did her Initial Claim and started her 26 weeks of payments. The people who received this July Initial Claim email and did do the Initial Claim had to have "resumed work at least once." ？ If that was not the rule, does that mean I could have made an Initial Claim at that time and received my 26 weeks from July ？ My recollection is that if you never resumed work, you had to contact them and they would have to miss it. I understood that if I failed to do so, my account would be frozen because of Glitch.

Just keep in mind, you need to have "proof", not "speculation" that because they are the same manager class, they are paid the same. Without that documented proof, Legal Aid is unlikely to move against the UI office. However, even if you name a manager colleague, Legal Aid Hawaii, the UI office, and HR in the workplace have a duty of confidentiality regarding their personal information, so the "evidence" line risks being counterproductive.

↑ This is not speculation, but fact. I have shown you my statements and discussed them with you. However, I don't have the peas in my hand. This kind of thing makes me regret my honesty. I also wonder if a public institution can do such an unreasonable and unfair thing. I am sorry that my last comment is like a complaint. I would like to move on rather than speaking such negativity, but I guess I just cannot agree with myself because "Be fair to everybody" is what I have always taken care of in my work.

Mr. Sunset/Marron

Thank you for sharing Marron's situation.

＞ Like Hiropon, I was temporarily laid off from the end of March last year, never worked, and since my bonus payment was more than 5 times of WBA,
I am receiving additional 26 weeks from September 18, 2021. *July 3, 2022 is the due date for receipt

. When I contacted them, they asked "Did you physically go back to work?" and when I told them that it was a bonus payment, I was told by the UI office that I was Disqualified.

Also, when I received an email from the UI office in June of this year, I contacted the UI office after reading the following topi ＃ 315, but was I wrong in my interpretation ？
or did I make a mistake? ？

Topic ＃ 315
[Continued from #308]

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team has shared it again, so I'm sharing it ASAP.

This email is being sent to those who have not worked since they first applied for unemployment insurance and have only been paid by their employer （ Like the April happening, this is a systemic glitch phenomenon where those who have no work income and are only paid are also receiving the delivery email. Glitch phenomenon ）.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team advises that before the Benefit Year End expires, you should call, email, or fax the UI office and say, "I have not worked since I first applied for unemployment insurance. My employer paid me with pay on ●●202●. Please review your own unemployment insurance again," they request.

If you are sending an e-mail or fax, please remember to include your name, last four digits of your social security number, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and employer information. If you do not include these, the UI office will not be able to verify your identity and will put you off or let you through.

You may also want to include the amount of all paid time off and bank statements from your employer since you first applied for unemployment insurance to expedite the UI office's response.

You are receiving this email because a review of your PEUC claim shows you have sufficient wages to potentially qualify for a new regular

Please do not file a new regular unemployment claim until July 4,

Filing a new regular unemployment claim before July 4, 2021 will cause issues and delay your claim. On the other hand, if you have had "short-time," "part-time," "on-call," or "fixed-term" work income since you first applied for unemployment insurance and receive the above email, you will follow the steps outlined in the email.

Hi Hiropon,

Thank you for your detailed explanation. What I told you in #315 was not a bonus, but "paid". I remember at the time there was a lot of trouble with the UI office not being able to distinguish paid from unpaid, sending emails by mistake, Glitch happened, etc. There were many glitches with people who had never worked and had paid, including locals.

Also, in the case of Mr. Maron, who received an approval letter for his second Initial Claim application in August, he was given a $25 difference rule option in July during the PEUC program and chose "Continue PEUC", and his second Initial Claim application was automatically reactivated in September. The second Initial Claim application was automatically reactivated and payment began.

In other words, those who were given the option under the $25 difference rule and had their second Initial Claim application reactivated were not subject to the new rule for second Initial Claim applications submitted after September. We believe that Ms. Marron's case is similar to that of her manager colleague.

I am speculating, but I feel that when Mr. Hiropon reported his bonus in June, he needs to have the UI office take another look at whether the response of switching to PEUC continuation was really appropriate, without giving instructions to submit a 2nd Initial Claim application! （ The UI office at that time instructed the subject to file a second Initial Claim application ）.

The most important thing now is for Mr. Hiroppon to get a satisfactory explanation from the UI office, so I still think it would be better to get help from Legal Aid Hawaii.

"I received an approval letter even though I was Disqualified," "When I reported my bonus in June, I was switched to PEUC continuation without being instructed to submit a second Initial Claim application," "In fact, if I had applied for a second Initial Claim in June, I would have received a new WBA. I think it would be better to consult with the UI office to see if we can request a re-investigation based on the opinion of Legal Aid Hawaii regarding "whether or not we should have been switched to the new WBA if we had actually filed the second Initial Claim in June". If you and your manager colleague are that open to disclosure, I think you can ask to see the approval letters for the first and second Initial Claim applications. In particular, please make sure that the first approval letter shows not only the amount in the quarterly chart but also the Benefit Year End due date in the same month as yours. If everything is the same, you can be sure that the UI office did not take proper action against you in June.

Finally.
Before contacting Legal Aid Hawaii, please run the WBA simulation and if the new WBA is more than the WBA at the time when you applied for a second Initial Claim in June, then this is also "evidence" that Legal Aid Hawaii can be strong against the UI office. I think this would also be "evidence" that Legal Aid Hawaii can strongly challenge the UI office.

Thank you for your reply.

＞ My guess is that when Mr. Hiroppon reported his bonus in June, the UI office did not instruct him to submit a second Initial Claim application, and he needs to have the UI office look again to see if the response of switching to PEUC continuation was really appropriate I feel that （ the UI office at that time was instructing the subject to file a second Initial Claim application ）.

↑ So you were only eligible for paid benefits, when you called UI and said, "It was a bonus payment." I clearly told them that it was a bonus, but they did not mention anything about submitting an application and told me to email them a copy of my pay stub. The statement clearly stated that it was a bonus. I wish the UI office had instructed me to submit a second Initial Claim at that time. I am very disappointed.
I have just talked to my colleague and asked him to show me the two approval letters as well, and I will talk to him again to see if the UI office really did the right thing in switching to PEUC continuation without giving instructions to submit the second Initial Claim application when I reported the bonus in June, as Sunset mentioned. I will talk to the UI office to ask them to look into it again to see if it was really appropriate. If we make any progress, we will share it here. Sunset, thank you so much for your kind response and for taking the time to go through all this on your own time. It is wonderful that Sunset always responds so kindly to everyone's questions and concerns. I am sure everyone appreciates it. I know you are busy, but please take care of yourself.

Thanks for your message, Hiropon.

Legal Aid Hawaii seems to have seen a lot of unreasonable cases with unemployment insurance during this pandemic, so I think they will give us their view.

We will be closing this topic soon as the PEUC program has ended, unemployment insurance itself is in its second round, and the busy call center will be calmed down next month.

In the future, if people with similar problems ask questions in this forum, please share your experience with Legal Aid Hawaii with them if necessary.

- Note -
① Once a File a Claim Certification application is submitted, it cannot be amended later. Please be careful when submitting your File a Claim Certification application to avoid typing mistakes.

② If you want to review your answers to the File a Claim Certification application, you can click on the Filed Date in the Claim Inquiry section.

③ For the second Initial Claim application, a Job Search Activity Report is required for all unemployed and part-time applicants except for full-time furloughed and full-time short-time employees. For more information, please refer to and read the previous topic titled "Job Search Activities and Report Submission".

④ If you no longer need unemployment insurance benefits because you have taken a full-time job, you can simply stop filing your weekly File a Claim Certification. No other procedures are required.

⑤ A "glitch" is a system error that occurs in the UI office system. This often happens when the UI system is upgraded.

⑥ DetailsIf you have no idea about the reason for the display, and you have not asked your employer about it, and you have a mysterious stop of payment, it may be "Glitch" or "Overpayment". Please contact the call center to find out, and as for Overpayment, please refer to and read the past topic titled "PEUC not approved".

Finally.
The second Initial Claim application will be for 26 weeks, which has been extended under the PEUC program under special pandemic measures, but not under regular unemployment insurance. Therefore, there will be no third Initial Claim filed and it is highly likely that your unemployment insurance will expire completely.

[Change of Address and Unemployment Insurance for Moved Addresses]

We are hearing about a surge of people pulling out of Hawaii as the PEUC Extension Program comes to an end. We share some points to keep in mind below, just in case.

- Change of Address -
If you are moving out of Hawaii, be sure to change your address as soon as you have a new address. You can change your address by clicking on "Change Address" in the "My Account" section of your UI account.

UI offices tend to send out overpayment reminders several months in advance. Federal and state tax letters are also sent to the address on the UI account.

Please be careful not to change your address and be unaware of letters from the UI office, as this will affect you later in various areas, including tax procedures.

- Unemployment Insurance at your new location -
If you are moving to the Mainland, you will need to apply for unemployment insurance in the state you are moving to. Whether or not you are eligible for unemployment insurance depends on the rules of the state you are moving to. Please contact the Department of Labor in your new state for more information.

If you are moving to the Mainland due to a personnel change in you or a family member, you may continue to receive Hawaii unemployment insurance as long as you submit the necessary documents to the UI office in Hawaii and are approved. In the past, people who had to move to the Mainland for reasons related to their military family members were approved.

If you return to Japan permanently, you will not be able to continue receiving unemployment insurance because it means that you have completely abandoned your intention to work in the United States.

[Topic Completely Closed]

As I have informed you before, I am closing this Topic completely as of this date. And since unemployment insurance has reached its second round, my help activities will also end this book.

I have posted the final summary in #567, #568, and #569 of this Topic, so those who continue to receive unemployment insurance and those who apply for unemployment insurance for the first time should read those as well.

We would like to express our sincere and deepest thanks to everyone who has written and shared valuable information in the Unemployment Insurance series of topics in this exchange forum over the last year and up until today, and to everyone who has provided information via email.

And thanks also to Rocco's Unemployment Insurance Help Team for backing me up day and night. It is no exaggeration to say that my help activities in this exchange square would not have been possible if I had not met them with their spirit of aloha and mutual help that transcended national and racial differences.

Thanks also to tax man for assisting me with advice on unemployment insurance related topics. I thanked you in an email the other day, and thank you again.

I admire the medical professionals and essential workers who are engaged in high-risk work while so many people have died in the corona. They have kept us safe, clothed, fed and sheltered, and still do.

We are still living in an era of symbiosis with the corona disaster, which has no end in sight, but as the saying goes, "It is people who are scarier than the corona".

Whether you will be negatively affected by the coronal disaster and be engulfed by your own emotions and stress, or whether you will switch to the positive and take new action, it may all be up to each of you.

No one is completely stress-free in the daily life of the Corona Disaster with its many restrictions. If you find yourself in a difficult situation that is beyond your control, please remember to give an open and honest offer of help to family, friends, hospitals, counselors, etc.

Health comes first in everything.
Please take care of yourselves as well.

Thank you for everything.

Mr. Sunset

I have always admired
your great contribution to the Japanese community in Hawaii.

I am from out of state and I know it is not an easy thing to do.
In L.A., I would have loved to have a thank you party, but alas.

Anyway, thanks for all your hard work. I wish you good health and success in your endeavors.

Thank you so much ！ ！ ！ for sharing valuable information almost every day since last March, and for your personalized advice.

I was so grateful. I am bowled over. I think thousands of Hawaii residents have been helped by Sunset.

And thank you Tax man for your professional advice on taxes from out of state.

Thanks also to everyone who shared their own experiences in a timely manner.

We all made it through the unemployment insurance program with a lot of uncertainty due to the pandemic and even more exploration. That's how I feel.

We can't all meet, but we may have passed each other on the street or on a drive!

With warm feelings and gratitude,
BIG ALOHA&MAHALO!!!

Thank you for everything.
Mana is right, many Japanese people in Hawaii have been helped by sunset, thank you so much.
I also used the information here everyday as a reference.
The corona disaster seems to be far from over, but I hope that one day we will be back to where we were before the corona disaster.
Until then, all we can do is endure, myself included.

Thank you very much for your long time support. I was also anxious everyday, but thanks to this topic, I could feel the existence of people who are working hard together, and most of all,
sunset-san's positive and earnest support has saved my heart. I can't imagine how many Japanese people like me have been helped.
I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Rocco's Unemployment Insurance Help Team. I will do my best to return the aloha I received
.

Sorry for the long delay in replying to your comment.

ka,
thank you too for taking advantage of the unemployment insurance topic. I am also grateful for the help of those who worked hard to read the topic and provide information.

tax man,
thank you for your tremendous support regarding my taxes. I think tax man's clients are very lucky to have not only your professional knowledge and experience, but also your volunteer spirit.

Mana,
Thank you for your positive perspective and warm-hearted messages. We were often swamped by the inadequacies of the UI system, and I'm sure the staff at the UI office had quite a difficult time with our first Corona disaster. Yes, we all have near misses within Hawaii.

Betty Lover,
Thank you too for the information you provided, I am so glad that you have made great progress in Overpayment. I hope that a cure for the complete end of Corona will be developed soon. We are not alone in enduring the Corona disaster, we are all in this together.

Poncha,
Thank you too for sharing this information. Because I have experienced unemployment insurance myself, I think I was able to feel your concerns and worries in a reasonably realistic way. I would like to follow the example of Poncha and the Unemployment Insurance Help Team and cherish the feeling of aloha. Mr. Kim, Thank you very much for utilizing the Unemployment Insurance Topic. Thank you for your kind message. And I wish you continued good winds.

Thank you Sun,
Thank you too for using the Unemployment Insurance Topic. I think we will get together with the Unemployment Insurance Help Team again, so I will pass on your sentiments at that time. I just pray that the drug companies will develop not only a vaccine but also a cure for the eradication of corona as soon as possible.

[Notice again]

Those who continue to receive unemployment insurance after the PEUC program ends and those who are applying for unemployment insurance for the first time should go back and read #567, #568 and #569 in this topic.

This topic is already completely closed.

Thank you for your patience.
