EPIC

Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI)

What is TDI?

Protecting Hawai‘i’s workers beyond the workplace.

TDI is a state-mandated wage replacement program that pays benefits to partially replace loss of wages due to off-the-job sickness or injury. As a complement to Worker’s Compensation insurance, TDI ensures that workers are protected both on and off the job site. It provides financial support to eligible employees during times of need. With few exceptions, all employers in Hawaiʻi with one or more employees are required to provide TDI as part of their disability benefits package.

“TDI is required by state law but all TDI carriers are NOT equal. My recent experiences with EPIC have been fantastic. They are responsive, look for ways to complete the process and the policy is easier for clients to understand.”
