Description of Program and Relief
Unemployment Insurance Benefits
Unemployed workers affected by COVID-19 may be eligible for benefits under already-existing Hawaii unemployment insurance, which provides temporary income for workers who are totally or partially unemployed through no fault of their own and who are available to work and actively seeking employment. Workers must ordinarily be unemployed for at least 7 days before filing a claim, but the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations is waiving this waiting period for claims related to COVID-19.
