Connecticut Unemployment Insurance Definition
CT Unemployment Insurance is temporary income for workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own and who are either looking for new jobs, in approved training, or awaiting recall to employment. The funding for Connecticut unemployment insurance benefits comes from taxes paid by CT employers. Workers do not pay any of the costs. To qualify for Connecticut unemployment benefits, you must have earned sufficient wages during a specified time (monetary eligibility). To collect benefits, you must meet certain legal eligibility requirements.
