HB722

Hawaii HB722 amends unemployment benefit laws, including disqualifications and penalties for overpayments.

Hawaii HB722 modifies the state's unemployment benefit laws by altering disqualification criteria and penalties for overpayments. It introduces a 15% penalty for overpaid benefits and increases the disqualification period for those who make false statements or fail to disclose material facts to obtain benefits. The bill also adjusts the conditions under which unemployment benefits can be denied, such as when an individual leaves work voluntarily without good cause or when unemployment is due to a labor dispute.
