If you are one of the people impacted by the Connecticut unemployment rate of 8.1%, it is natural you should be worried about when your unemployment benefits might be ending. Set your mind at ease. The federal government has a program called EUC08 (EUC stands for Emergency Unemployment Compensation). The first tier of the program provides you up to seven weeks of extended benefits.
You could be eligible if you filed an unemployment claim that became effective May, 7, 2006, or later. You need to be either totally unemployed or working part-time as of July 26, 2008. Another thing that is required to be eligible is you cannot be able to collect benefits from any other state, the federal government, or Canada. You also must be legally authorized to work in the United States and be capable and actively seeking employment.
Visit the Connecticut Department of Labor website at www.ct.gov/dol to file online. You can also file by calling your regular Telebenefits line and selecting option 6. If you are deaf or hearing impaired, you can use TDD/TTY by calling 1-800-842-9710.
If Connecticut determines that you are not eligible for extended benefits, you can file an appeal. Your determination letter will include instructions for how to file the appeal.
Once you’ve exhausted your benefits for emergency unemployment compensation under Tier 1, you can then be qualified for Tier 2. This is contingent on Connecticut’s unemployment staying where it is at. Tier 2 gives you an addition 13 weeks of emergency unemployment compensations. As long as you’re eligible, these benefits will automatically be provided to you.
Once you’ve used up your federal extensions, you are then eligible for Connecticut extended benefits. You must be able to meet the eligibility requirements and must not be disqualified to receive unemployment benefits. The additional $25 of Connecticut unemployment insurance benefits that you receive under the federal stimulus program also apply to your extended benefits.
Now that you know more about the emergency unemployment compensation that is available to you, there’s no reason not to take advantage of it. Make sure you apply for all the benefits you need so you have less financial concerns while you go about reentering the workforce.

What happens when there is nothing else. I have used up all the benefits that ct. has to offer. As of July 25th 2009 I no longer get any help.
August 14th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Will there be another emergency unemployment benefit the middle of August? I have exhausted all the benefits CT has to offer.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:43 am
I too have exhausted my unemployment benefits and have not found work. The last I heard, it didn’t look as though the 7 week extension was going to happen.
August 20th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
In Ct. they’re saying that are unemplyment rate has NOT reached 8% yet; hence we are noy going to get the other seven weeks of extended benefits that other states are getting. Something is real wrong here; Two months in a row they’ve jockeyed the figures. Can someone explain this to me. e need to start some real trouble for certain people.
August 24th, 2009 at 8:26 am
I’d like to know where the 8.1% figure came from; In Ct. we are missing out on seven weeks of extended benefits because they have a different rate??? I am very grateful for what we’ve gotten so far; but someone is doing different math.
