High Extended Benefits Expected to End
November 20, 2020The CT Department of Labor expects to be notified shortly by the U.S. Department of Labor that the High Extended Benefits (HEB) period has ended. The agency expects some customers will begin to see this loss of benefits as soon as the week ending December 12, 2020.
To be proactive about the loss of benefits, CT DOL will notify claimants who will begin to lose those benefits over the next few weeks. If you are collecting HEB, and you are concerned about what this will look like for you, I encourage you to reach out to the DOL's Consumer Contact Center at the numbers below:
