What happens if I am denied unemployment benefits in Connecticut?

If you are denied unemployment benefits in Connecticut, you have the right to appeal the decision. To initiate the process, you should file an appeal within 21 days of receiving the denial notice. Complete the appropriate appeal form and provide any additional supporting documents that could help your case. Once your appeal is received, a hearing will be scheduled where you can present your case and provide evidence to support your eligibility for benefits. The Appeals Division will thoroughly review all the evidence and make a decision. It is crucial to prepare well for the hearing and gather any relevant information to strengthen your case. If you do not agree with the decision reached after the hearing, further appeals can be made to the Superior Court.
