How long can I receive unemployment benefits in Connecticut?

Asked 2 years ago
In Connecticut, individuals may typically receive unemployment benefits for a maximum duration of twenty-six weeks. This is the standard duration for regular unemployment compensation. However, during times of high unemployment or in special circumstances, the federal government may provide additional benefits through programs like Emergency Unemployment Compensation or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, which could extend the duration of benefits beyond the standard twenty-six weeks. It is essential to keep in mind that both the availability and duration of benefits can vary based on individual circumstances, such as job loss reasons and eligibility requirements. To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding unemployment benefits and any potential extensions, individuals are encouraged to visit the Connecticut Department of Labor's website or check the relevant section for specifics about their situation and any changes that may apply.
