UVSC reimburses approved cancer-treatment expenses and basic necessities for Hawaiʻi residents receiving care in state or out of state. Current rules include adults and parents, guardians, or caregivers of a person diagnosed with any cancer through age 21 or pediatric cancer through age 25, so pediatric B-ALL fits the diagnosis scope. The linked guidelines publish up to $10,000 per 12 months during active treatment and $5,000 per 12 months for as long as 24 months afterward, subject to board budgets and available funds. Applicants use the live 2026 application, provider referral, release form, and financial-need documentation; the board reviews eligible applications quarterly. Current pages conflict on document requirements, acknowledgment timing, and older decision deadlines, so applicants should confirm instructions with UVSC.
