Filing an Employer Appeal in ReEmployCT

Filing an employer appeal in ReEmployCT

Are you an employer? Need to file an unemployment appeal because you disagree with the examiner’s decision? Log in to ReEmployCT, click on the File Appeal tab, and follow the onscreen prompts to file your appeal.

Be sure to file your appeal within 21 calendar days of the mailing date of the denial-of-benefits letter—it’s required. If you are late, the Appeals Referee cannot legally hear your case unless you show good cause for filing the appeal late. If the Appeals Division decides you have a good reason, the referee then will be able to hear your case.
