How do I report income while collecting unemployment benefits?
When collecting unemployment benefits in Connecticut, individuals must report any income they earn during this period. This is important because failing to report income accurately could lead to overpayments, which may require repayment and result in penalties. To report income, individuals need to complete their weekly certification for benefits, which can typically be done through the Connecticut Department of Labor's online portal. During this process, they will be asked if they have earned any wages during the week they are certifying for.
It is important to provide accurate details regarding the amount earned, as this can affect the benefits received. Individuals should report gross income, which is the total amount earned before any deductions such as taxes. If there are any questions or uncertainties about reporting income or how it affects unemployment benefits, it is advisable to refer to the Connecticut Department of Labor's official website. This site provides up-to-date information and resources regarding the reporting process, including additional guidance on what constitutes reportable income.
