On $2,300 a week in Hawaii, about $868 in weekly benefits.

What shapes the award.

Weekly range

$5 to $868. Wage requirements still apply.

Duration

Up to 26 weeks under this program. The modeled benefit balance is $22,568.

Dependents

No dependents allowance in this modeled regular benefit.

Base period

First four of the last five completed calendar quarters. An alternate or extended period may be available under the state’s conditions. Understand the quarters.

Alternate-period detail

If standard-period wages are insufficient, the agency uses the last four completed calendar quarters before the benefit year begins. Wages used to establish a benefit year cannot be reused for another claim. Confirm the selected quarters on the monetary determination.

Reporting work

Report gross wages for Sunday-Saturday when the work was done, before payday. Include reportable holiday, vacation and other income as directed; separate offsets may apply. Do not subtract taxes here.

Partial-week conditions

Gross weekly wages must be strictly below the established weekly rate, and work must be less than full time. The statutory default is 40 hours unless trade practice, custom or agreement sets another full-time week. Ignore the first $150 of wages, deduct the rest dollar for dollar and round the remaining payment up to a whole dollar. The earnings cutoff still applies when the rate is below $150.

Duration conditions

Regular benefits provide a balance of 26 times the weekly rate. The benefit year normally lasts 52 weeks; an overlapping base-year quarter can require 53 weeks under the statute. Ongoing eligibility is required, and special extensions are not included.

Work registration

Hawaii residents are automatically registered with HireNet Hawaii. Interstate claimants must maintain local employment-service registration. Qualifying unions submit UC-226 within seven days. Follow agency notices.

Repeat benefit years

After the prior benefit year began, covered work must pay at least five times the new weekly rate. The ordinary wage tests still apply, and previously used wages cannot be reused. The estimator does not check intervening work.

Before you count on it.

• Covered wages and employment are required.
• This checks only the modeled monetary rules. The agency also checks your employment history and other eligibility conditions.
• Separation, availability, work search and certification can affect payment.
• Tax withholding, offsets and agency adjustments can change the amount received.

This is a wage calculation and an informational screen. Your agency or insurer decides your claim.

Keeping the claim eligible.

When required, complete three work-search activities each week and keep a verifiable record, including in the claimant portal. Attend assigned reemployment services. Partial-work, union or job-attachment exceptions need agency confirmation.

Taxes and the amount received.

Benefits are generally taxable. Optional withholding is 10% federal and 5% Hawaii. Form 1099-G reports annual payments. This estimate is before withholding and other offsets.
