Add Connecticut to the list of states paying people who get back to work.
Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday that up to 10,000 state residents considered to have been long-term unemployed will be able to sign up for a program that pays out a $1,000 “signing bonus” after applicants complete eight straight weeks of a full-time job.
“This is the latest tool in our toolbox to maximize our state’s recovery from the coronavirus pandemic,” Lamont said in a statement.
To be eligible for the payout, would be-workers must have filed an unemployment claim for the week of May 24, completed eight consecutive weeks of work prior to the end of this year, and not received unemployment during that eight-week period.
