Hawaii HB672 provides public assistance to eligible residents during a governor-declared state of emergency.
Hawaii HB672 amends Chapter 346 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow the Department to administer public assistance to residents during a state of emergency declared by the governor. Eligible individuals must be bona fide residents, provide Social Security numbers, and meet income criteria. Adults aged 18-65 are eligible if they cannot meet federal Supplemental Security Income criteria and cannot engage in substantial gainful activity due to the emergency. Assistance amounts are capped at the monthly federal Supplemental Security Income benefit.
