How do I report my wages while receiving unemployment benefits?

When receiving unemployment benefits in Hawaii, it is essential to report any wages earned accurately. The Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations has established guidelines for reporting wages. Individuals must report their gross wages for the week they are earned, not when they are paid. It is important to report these wages during the weekly certification process, which can typically be done online or through other designated methods. When reporting, ensure to include all income, including part-time work, freelance gigs, or any other sources of earnings. Failure to report wages correctly can result in overpayments or potential penalties.
