I’m self-employed or an independent contractor. Am I eligible for unemployment benefits during the coronavirus crisis?
On May 7, 2020, the Connecticut Department of Labor made active the filing site so those who are self-employed can complete filing applications for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA).
The site, located on www.filectui.com, can be identified by a red button labeled with the PUA designation.
The site will accept applications from self-employed individuals, including independent contractors and “gig” workers, who have already applied through the state unemployment system, and have received a determination notice in the mail from the Connecticut Department of Labor.
For more information about PUA, please visit:
