Aloha Subscriber,
Eligible voting employees in the Department of Education voted to accept a settlement for temporary hazard pay. Current active DOE employees have already started filling out their THP request forms. As someone who has left service with the DOE, here’s what you need to know:
Am I eligible for THP?
If you worked for the DOE during the pandemic (from March 4, 2020 to March 25, 2022) in Unit 2, 3, 4, 9 or 13, you’re entitled to temporary hazard pay under this settlement.
Payout for approved THP requests will occur no later than March 20, 2025.
Will I be notified about my eligibility?
The DOE mailed a letter to all eligible former employees in October asking them to update their email address. If you did this, you should have received an email on Nov. 14 with a link to the THP request form.
If you’re eligible for THP and didn’t receive a letter from the DOE or access to the request form, please email the DOE at thp_inquiries@k12.hi.us.
The form must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024.
This is the DOE’s form and submission process, not HGEA’s. If you have any questions, please email the DOE at thp_inquiries@k12.hi.us.
