Unemployment Benefits for Educators

Wages earned when working for an educational institution (employer) may not be usable to determine your weekly benefit amount if you file for unemployment benefits between terms (for example, during the summer or winter breaks). 

CTDOL will conduct a fact finding to determine the usability of the wages and will issue a determination after all information is gathered from you as well as your employer.
