Information for Filers
Employees who have been denied compensation under the CT Paid Leave Insurance Program, or any person who has been assessed a penalty by the CT Paid Leave Authority, may file an appeal with the Connecticut Department of Labor (CTDOL) Appeals Division. You may only file an appeal with CTDOL if you have already applied for CT Paid Leave benefits and received a final denial decision.
The Leave Complaint and Appeals portal linked below is the fastest way to file an appeal, check the status of your appeal, receive a decision from the Appeals Division, and get information about your appeal.
If you do not have internet access or need assistance filing an appeal, please call the CTDOL Appeals Division at (860) 263-6970, or contact:
CTDOL Appeals Division
38 Wolcott Hill Road
Wethersfield, CT 06109
For questions regarding a claim for CTPL compensation or to submit a document in a pending claim, please contact the CT Paid Leave Authority at (877) 499-8606.
