I heard that anyone can receive food stamps for
5 years as long as they are not over the income limit and do not violate any immigration laws. However, I heard that the amount will be reduced when you receive your pension.

I feel some kind of contradiction. Unemployment insurance requires you to report the results of your job search, you have to apply for a job even if there isn't one that suits you. What is it about being a homeowner and getting food stamps? This is also where the state has the highest percentage of public employees to the population in the country. They are creating and hiring useless sections with ohana or whatever, and they are flexible anyway.
If I were younger I would get off this island. Patience, patience until I retire.

Is there someone who is an owner-occupied homeowner getting food stamps ? ! You should call the police. I'm a homeowner and I'm desperate to pay my mortgage because of the layoffs due to the corona in my house and I have to apply for jobs even if they're not right for me.
I'm mad at people who are slyly food stamping. Of course, I'm also angry at people who are hiding their assets and defrauding people of food stamps, as was mentioned here, regardless of whether they are homeowners or not.

How do you store flour, pasta, etc. at home? ?

Today I looked at the flour I had stored and found many small insects walking around the flour bag.
It is a common type of American flour in paper bags.
I kept it in the paper bag in a slide type ziplock because I didn't want the bugs to get into it if I kept it that way.

Did they get in through the gap in the slide or were there eggs in the flour to begin with?
It is a fairly small grayish-beige colored bug that you see in old books and wooden shelves.
They are really creepy.

Pasta is kept in a dark place under the kitchen if unused, but
leftovers are put in the fridge after use.

Maybe it is better to keep the flour in the fridge ?.

I had the same thing happen to me before. I heard that it is better to store in an airtight container in the refrigerator as soon as the package is opened, because the insects can easily make holes in hard paper, plastic, etc., and get in. Even if the package is unopened, it may already contain insects or eggs, so I don't buy any more. I regularly check the kitchen area as it can cause allergies. Spices and other items should also be closed tightly, otherwise insects can enter.

You have to be careful with spices too. Do you also store tea, coffee, dried wakame seaweed, etc. in the fridge?

I would like to ask those of you who have been issued a State ID.
I know you need two proofs of address, but
which documents did you bring with you ?
since I have just arrived in Hawaii,
I have a bank certificate, but
I have no other proof of address such as utility bill payment. … I don't have any other proof of address, such as proof of payment of utility bills
. I would like to know if there are any documents that can prove
that you live in the area, even if you have not lived here for a long time.

Also, since I don't have a Social Security Number,
I plan to get a denial letter, but
I heard a rumor that this document itself can be used as proof of address,
I would like to know if anyone has actually been successful with this. I would like to know if anyone has actually succeeded in doing so.

Thank you very much.

I have a fiancee visa → green card, but I went to apply for it after I got my green card (I went to get it almost a year after I moved here)
I can't say for sure without knowing the status … I would bring the visa-related documents from immigration, if any. I would bring the documents that immigration has sent to you.
To be honest, I think it depends on the person who will help you, so I would prepare anything with your address on it … You don't have a mobile phone bill either ?
Or you can wait until you have the documents ready …. I think the hardest thing to do is to go to the DMV and not be able to make it.
If your status is gray like mine, you have to wait until you have no valid visa before you can get a green card.
I hope you get it soon.

Thank you all for your replies.
My status is F-1 visa.

Mr. Medaka
I didn't know it was by appointment only … ….
I made an appointment just now, but the earliest I could get an appointment was October …
It will be a long time before I can get it.

Mr. mikimahalo
It depends on the person who can help you ….
I brought my Japanese phone with me for the time being, so
I can only see my bill online at the moment ….

Dear uta
denial letter actually counted as one of the proof of address.
The appointment itself is going to be a little while away, so
I hope I can get another proof of address by then
If it looks too tough, I'll try with that once.

You could ask the landlord to prepare a rental agreement for you.
That will be one of the proofs of your address.
However, since your reservation is due in October (I believe utility bills are also due within 2 months), please be careful not to ask them to write it too early or it will be invalid.

I renewed my provisional license in March this year, but I made a reservation in January and got March for Ko'olau while it was May for Kapalama.
Even Kapalama has some last minute cancellations, so if you check your Mamma, you may be able to get it a little earlier. DMV is known for their saltiness lol. I think you can take whatever documents you can bring !.

Tax Return

Daily life

  • panda

As I do every year, I called my accountant in March to make an appointment to apply for a tax return just in time for April this year, and he said that although there were no appointments available at the moment, it was okay because the appointment had been postponed until May 17 this year due to the pandemic, so I made an appointment in early May and went!

Then the other day I received a letter from the tax office charging me for overdue taxes. I was surprised and rushed to check and found that Federal was postponed until May 17, but State's deadline was April 20 !

Of course I knew it was usually April 15. Of course, I knew that the usual deadline is April 15, but I had no doubt that it could be irregular due to the pandemic ? and I am responsible for taking the accountant's word for it, but I trusted him completely as he is a Japanese man who has been our client for several years and is a professional. I trusted him completely.

When I told this to the accountant, he was apparently "convinced" that I would have to pay a penalty and accepted the appointment in May. My husband was introduced to this person by an acquaintance, and we have been using him for several years, but he is not a very nice person, his fees go up every year, and from our point of view, if we had known from the beginning, there is no reason or benefit to paying a penalty to have him. There is no advantage whatsoever.

Finally, he yelled at me on the phone and was very upset, but that didn't mean he would pay the penalty on my behalf...

He said he wants to reduce the number of clients because he is a one-man operation and can't handle it, and that he doesn't know if he will do it next year. He said every year that he was not sure if he would do it next year, and that he was not sure if he would be able to do it next year. !

I had no choice but to pay the overdue tax as it was a study fee, but the deadline may be irregular again next year and I am writing this to prevent anyone else from making the same mistake as me.
(I have lived in the US for almost 20 years, but this is the first time I have ever paid late taxes ! )



I know this is long, but finally

I was wondering if this time I have overdue tax payment and I

I tried to find out, but I couldn't. Please let me know if you know.

Please refer to the explanation regarding the filing date and time.
The official filing deadline for the State of Hawaii is April 20.
However, the following explanation is provided regarding the filing date and time for the State of Hawaii.
The content is that there is no extension of April 20 as far as the official filing date is concerned, but
if the following two conditions are met, the filing due date
can be automatically extended until October 20.
Condition 1 is that you have a refund from the State of Hawaii
Condition 2 is that you have paid Estimated Tax
by April 20.
In other words, if the income tax return calculation results in a refund,
there is no outstanding tax owed to the state, the extension is automatically extended until October 20.
In addition, if you have paid Estimated Tax, your return can be extended
until October 20.
Simply put, this is the same thing every year, not just this year, and the state welcomes the extension of the
Refund because we are short on money. Even if you have more to pay, you can still file late as long as you pay more
taxes in advance.

If you still have not received a penalty, it is because you filed a Refund.
Below is the explanation of the State of Hawaii and their website.

https://tax.hawaii.gov/upd_4txpayr/#:~:text=Tax%20Year%2020%20Deadline%20Extension&text=While%20the%20law%20requires%20taxpayers,is%20due%20a%20refund%2C%20or
Tax Year 2020 Deadline Extension

After careful consideration, the Hawaii State Department of Taxation has decided not to extend the Tax Year 2020 filing deadline.
Taxpayers must file

While the law requires taxpayers to file by April 20,
taxpayers are granted an automatic 6-month extension (no form is required to request the extension) to file the return through October 20, 2021 if one of these two conditions is met:
1.
1. the taxpayer is due a refund, or
2. the taxpayer pays the properly estimated tax amount owed by April 20, 2021.
Taxpayers who are not able to pay the properly estimated tax amount owed should pay as much as they can to avoid additional interest and penalties.

In my case, I didn't meet the criteria, so I had to pay the penalty.
Thank you for the clarification.


Mr. Lilikoi
When I made my reservation, there was no such explanation at all, and they just told me ! that it was ok because it was postponed for a month.
If an accountant, who has been my client for several years, assures me so clearly, there is not a millimeter of doubt in my mind, and this is the result ! !
I will take this opportunity to improve my habit of doing everything at the last minute.

PANDA My family has been asking this accountant for years. There was no explanation at the time of the appointment. When we went to the accountant, I asked him about the delinquent taxes and he quickly told me. I called for an appointment at the end of March. I was already told that April was not possible, so even if I had to pay the overdue tax, it was my fault for moving so late, so I figured that would be it.
However, I was able to make a reservation by the middle of April even if I called at the same time every year, so this year I thought "Oh no !" but I decided

to do it quickly from now on ! since I would not have had to worry if I finished it early. I decided to do it quickly from now on.

パートを始めた際の失業保険の受給額について

現在コロナ禍で失業保険で生活をしている1人です。
失業保険を貰っているものの約8割弱が家賃となり、その後車の保険、健康保険を支払うと食費も出ない状況なので少しでも足しになる様に仕事を始めたいと思っています。

ここで質問があります。
パートタイムで働いた場合、失業保険の額がどれ位減額になるのでしょうか⁇
収入額で変わってくるかとは思うのですが、失業保険のみでは生活が回らないのにパートをしたら減額されてしまうと本末転倒になってしまいます。
ご存知の方がおりましたら分かる範囲でアドバイス頂けると助かります。

(日本のリモート職とハワイで求人を検討しています。)
宜しくお願い致します。

#20

Sunsetさん とても親切に説明して下さりありがとうございます。分かりました。もう一つ教えてください。WBAと今回も収入の差額がWBAの方が僅か$1だけ多い日も$300の対象なのでしょうか?支給される可能性有りますか?細く聞いて申し訳ありません。宜しくお願いします。

#21

Bibirimanさん、

#17で申し上げた通り、1週間働いた週の合計の収入がWBAを1ドル以上越えた場合は「Disqualified」表示になります。この表示になると、その週は失業保険と週300ドルが支給されないということになります。
