The purpose of this informational briefing is to present the growing need for long term assistance among Hawaii's elder residents. A financing program to provide Long Term Services and Supports will be proposed in this Legislative Session. The proposed program will provide for up to 365 days of Long Term Services and Supports at an initial reimbursement rate of $70 per day. The proposed program will be financed by a 1/2% addition to the Hawaii GET. Benefits will accrue to residents who file Hawaii Resident Income tax return. Benefit payments are triggered by meeting a specific level of disability.
