Opinion Letter No. 90-26

Welfare Records of Deceased Individuals

The welfare records of deceased individuals may not be made available for public inspection and
copying under the UIPA. While an individual’s death ordinarily extinguishes any privacy interest the
individual may have had, section 346-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, specifically restricts the disclosure
of the records and applications of any recipient of public assistance.
