What Information Can You Provide on Hawaii Unemployment Benefits?

Answer:
Several criteria must be met in order for an individual

to be eligible to receive Hawaii unemployment benefits. Claimants may not be employed full-time, nor may they be receiving temporary benefits. However, in some cases, individuals who are employed part-time may be eligible for unemployment benefits.

Individuals seeking unemployment compensation must have received wages from an insured position for a minimum of two quarters during the five quarters immediately proceeding the quarter in which the unemployment claim is filed. Once approved for unemployment benefits, individuals must file weekly claim certifications in order to receive their benefits.

Additionally, claimants must register with the State Workforce Development Division (WDD) and participate in the agency's worker profiling program for placement assistance and other job seeker services. Unemployed persons who wish to receive benefits must also post their resumes in HireNet Hawaii, which is an online job matching system operated by WDD.
