January 13, 2026
Hawaii's Department of Labor and Industrial Relations recently announced the 2026 Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) maximum weekly benefit and contribution amounts.
The weekly benefit amount remains 58% of an employee's average weekly wages. However, the maximum benefits amount was increased to $871 per week for 2026. In addition, an employer may withhold TDI contributions equal to one-half the premium cost but not more than 0.5% of the employee's weekly wage, with the maximum not exceeding $7.50 per week in 2026.
Employers with employees in Hawaii should consult with their payroll vendors and disability insurers to ensure that the appropriate contributions will be withheld starting January 1, 2026, and that the new maximum weekly benefit is reflected for claims paid in 2026.
