Unemployment benefits during a leave of absence

If you’re on a leave of absence from your employer, CTDOL will conduct a fact finding to determine your eligibility for benefits.  Some of the factors to be considered include but are not limited to whether you are:

  • Able and available for full-time work;
  • Unable to perform your normal job.
