Unemployment Resources & PPP February 16, 2021 @ 9am The Economic Aid Act signed in December 2020, renews funding for several direct relief programs, extends unemployment assistance programs, and provides additional support for the Shared Work Program which allows employers to reduce employee hours while avoiding layoffs. The CT Department of Labor will join us to review the details of these programs and discuss the new federal Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation program for residents who have both self-employment earnings as well as W-2 earnings. Presenting will be Daryle Dudzinski, Deputy Commissioner, Connecticut Department of Labor. While self-employed individuals and employers explore these programs, many have questions about how these interact with the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Our CTSBDC Business Advisors will cover essential steps and considerations for employers and self-employed navigating both.
