Unemployment Insurance Has Gone Green!
 
We encourage claimants to opt for either the direct deposit card or debit card payment methods that are approved by the State of Connecticut and the Labor Department.  We are not associated or affiliated with check cashing services. (click here for more information)

Select Payment Method

The CT Department of Labor has “gone green” with a completely paperless system of Unemployment Benefit payments.  No waiting for a check to arrive in the mail, no worries about getting your check cashed, no check cashing fees, and a safer, more convenient access to your money. No waiting in line to cash a check.

Enrollment for Direct Deposit or Debit Card is now available.  Electronic payments will either be made to your bank or credit union account for Direct Deposit, or loaded onto your Debit Card.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT provide your bank routing number or checking account number when using this email address - you may ONLY sign up for direct deposit or debit card at: https://sso.ctdol.state.ct.us.
