HRS §88-88
Restoring retirement pay cut by Social Security
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section fixes retirement allowances for certain Class A members whose benefits were reduced because of Social Security coverage after 1955. It adds back the amount of the reduction, but only up to a specific limit based on pay and years of service. The limit is different for service-connected disability retirees.
