CT HB05266

Reduces the time period for employers to protest benefit charges shown on their quarterly unemployment insurance statement from sixty days to forty days effective October 1, 2024

Requires the administrator to provide quarterly statements to employers showing charges made to their experience record, including claimant names, Social Security numbers, weekly benefit amounts, and quarterly totals

Allows employers to file written protests only if they contend benefits were improperly charged due to fraud or error within the forty-day protest window

Prohibits reopening eligibility issues on quarterly statements if the employer previously received notice of the issue and failed to file a timely appeal or had the matter already resolved

Excludes combined wage claims paid under other states' unemployment laws from the protest requirement provisions
