Hawaii’s first $600 extra unemployment payments should go out Wednesday
The state is poised to send out the first of many thousands of weekly $600 “plus-up” unemployment payments to laid-off workers, according to Scott Murakami, director of the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
State labor officials Saturday launched a new system to automatically add the $600 federal payments to the base payments of state unemployment insurance, and the first checks and transfers with the extra money included will be distributed Wednesday to 9,830 people, according to state labor officials.
