DLIR Reminds Residents of Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) Deadline and Available Support

The Hawaiʻi State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR) is reminding individuals impacted by the recent Presidential Disaster Declaration on April 7, 2026, that Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) benefits remain available for eligible workers, self-employed individuals, farmers, and fishermen whose employment was interrupted as a direct result of the declared disaster.

Workers, business owners, and self-employed individuals in the City and County of Honolulu, County of Hawai'i, and County of Maui may be eligible for DUA benefits if they became unemployed or had their work hours reduced or interrupted due to the storms, floods, landslides, and mudslides that occurred between March 10, 2026 and March 24, 2026. This applies only if they do not qualify for regular unemployment insurance.
