Aloha Subscriber,
Current active employees of state executive branch departments (not including HHSC, Judiciary, University of Hawaii, Public Charter Schools and DOE) are already beginning to fill out their eligibility forms in the state’s HIP system. We’ve received a number of questions from excluded employees with the state executive branch. Here’s what you need to know:
Am I eligible for THP?
If you were an excluded employee who worked during the pandemic (from March 4, 2020 to March 24, 2022) in the state executive branch, you’re entitled to temporary hazard pay under our settlement with Gov. Green.
Yes, you should be given access to the online form through the HIP system. You should confirm this with your department designee.
This is the state’s form, not HGEA’s. If you have any questions regarding eligibility and the payout process, contact your department designee.
The deadline to complete and submit the form is July 31.
Any future updates will be posted to our settlement information page for members who left service.
