Connecticut is implementing changes to its Unemployment Insurance (UI) system, effective January 1, 2025, as a result of Public Acts 21-200 and 22-67. The changes include adjustments to the taxable wage base, new employer rates, and contribution rate calculations, as well as modifications to UI benefit payments.

Minimum and maximum contribution rates for 2025 will be 1.1% and 8.9%, respectively.
