The Connecticut Department of Labor (CTDOL) will launch the new tax and benefit system, ReEmployCT, on July 5, 2022.
The new unemployment system makes employer filing more efficient through online access.
In preparation for the ReEmployCT rollout, over the next several months CTDOL will launch preview pages, answer frequently asked questions, and disseminate helpful information to assist filers and employers with the transition.
Employers can sign up to have ReEmployCT updates sent directly to your inbox.

* Key Points:
1. Employers will need to create new credentials. You cannot use your old username and password to sign into the system.
2. Employer numbers will change from seven digits to ten digits. All employers will add three trailing zeroes. Ex. Elf Cookie factory number goes from 9876543 to 9876543000
3. Employers must give Third-Party Agents permission to access their account in ReEmployCT. (No new power of attorney is needed for existing accounts).*

What Employers need to know
- The first quarter of the 2022 tax and wage return will be the last return filed in our current system. Beginning July 5, 2022, employers will file their second quarter 2022 returns—and any outstanding returns for previous quarters—in the ReEmployCT system.
-
For reimbursable employers monthly billing will be changed to quarterly billing. CTDOL will begin to bill reimbursable employers on a quarterly basis after May 2022. The last monthly bill will be in May (for charges incurred in March), and the next bill will come through the new ReEmployCT system in July 2022. That will be the first quarterly bill and will include the charges for April, May, and June 2022.
New Rate/Data Exchange Process Commencing July 5, 2022
Required Form to link Employers to Tax Filing TPA
A TPA who needs to file an amendment/correction return or perform account maintenance for their client and is authorized by the client would need to be linked to the client's account. The initial linkage can be done by the Connecticut Department of Labor. Complete and return this form to dol.sos@ct.gov.
We will begin the process of linking accounts on July 5, 2022. Please remember the 7-digit registration number assigned to your client in our legacy system will be converted to a 10-Digit Employer Account Number (EAN) by adding the 3 trailing zeros.
