SmartStart is the approved IID vendor for the state of Hawai’i.  All costs for the IID will be directly charged to you by Smart Start, at your own expense. The ADLRO has nothing to do with the IID, or with any costs or charges for the IID.  That is strictly between you and Smart Start.

According to Smart Start, installation of the IID is a one-time fee of $84, and the IID costs $89 every month thereafter for lease and calibration of the device. There is a $50 fee charged by Smart Start should you incur a lock out due to a program violation.

Individuals who are receiving current EBT/SNAP benefits from the State of Hawai’i may have their cost reduced by Smart Start. Please call Smart Start at 808-695-2416 for more information and to see if you qualify.

*** Note that you must submit proof of eligibility/documentation from DHS to Smart Start showing current EBT/SNAP benefits.  Providing an EBT card to Smart Start is not enough. Documents must have name, case no. and current benefit amount listed.
