Jobless residents will need to contact the unemployment office in Connecticut to enroll in the unemployment insurance (UI) program. The Connecticut Department of Labor (CTDOL) unemployment office handles all requests for partial wage compensation and establishes the requirements for eligibility. Information about unemployment eligibility as well as continual requirements is available at CTDOL locations and American Job Centers in the state. An interested claimant can discover comprehensive CT unemployment information by speaking with a UI representative in person, via telephone or by exploring the state website. CTDOL offices provide services to open new claims, reopen previous claims and to view current applications. It is important for residents who recently experienced a loss of employment or other change in income to be aware of unemployment information regarding the program’s initial eligibility conditions and ongoing requirements to collect benefits successfully. CTDOL requires information about unemployment like the reason for separation and past job history when residents apply for unemployment compensation. While there are methods for enrolling in the program online or via phone, applicants can also visit unemployment offices to learn more about the services provided to enrollees.
