Hawaii also has a temporary disability insurance (TDI) program, which provides benefits to most workers for up to 26 weeks (save for a 1-week waiting period) for any period of serious off-the-job illness or injury. To be eligible for benefits, workers must have been employed for at least 14 weeks, during each of which the worker worked at least 20 hours and earned at least $400 in wages, during the 52 weeks immediately prior to the start of disability. This can combine income from more than one employer. Under the program, a worker receives 58% of a worker’s average weekly wage up to a cap of about 70% of the statewide average weekly wage. Hawaii does not provide paid family leave. See Haw. Rev. Stat. § 392-1 et seq. For more information, visit https://labor.hawaii.gov/dcd/home/about-tdi/.
