Can I work part-time while receiving unemployment benefits?

Yes, you can work part-time while receiving unemployment benefits in Hawaii. However, there are certain restrictions and guidelines you must follow. You are permitted to earn up to a certain amount without affecting your benefits. The allowable income threshold is currently set at 25% of your weekly benefit amount. If your gross earnings exceed this threshold, a portion of your unemployment benefits may be deducted accordingly. It is important to report your earnings accurately and timely to the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. Failing to report your income or providing false information may result in penalties and the need to repay benefits. It is advised to consult with the department or refer to their official guidelines for specific details and ongoing updates.
