Temporary Disability Insurance

 

If you are an employer with one or more employees, you may be required by the State of Hawaii to provide your employees with Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI). TDI is a "wage replacement" program that pays your employees benefits to partially replace loss of wages due to off-the-job injury or sickness.

Statutory Plan Benefits

  • Employees on disability receive up to 58% of their average weekly wage up to the State of Hawaii maximum benefit amount.
  • The benefit amount is payable from the 8th day of disability.
  • The maximum length of coverage is a total of 26 weeks during the benefit year.

Complete information on the TDI law.

Coverage Eligibility

  • Injury or illness must not be work-related and prevents your employees from performing regular work.
  • Disability requires confirmation by a certified physician.
  • Coverage is available to employees who are hired immediately before the date of injury or illness.
  • Coverage is available to employees who are separated from their jobs if the disability is within two weeks of the separation date.
  • Coverage is available to employees who worked at least 14 weeks during each of which the individual was paid 20 or more hours and earned not less than $400 during the 52 weeks immediately preceding the first day of disability.
