(If you have returned to full-time work, contact a TeleBenefits Line representative.)

7. Did you change your mailing address since you last filed a claim? Answer “yes” to this question only if you have not yet notified the Labor Department of this change. If you change you mailing address, speak to a TeleBenefits Line customer service representative as soon as possible so that any benefits due you are not delayed. NOTE: If you answered “no”to question number 1, you will be asked by the system, “Have you previously reported that you mental impairment?”

Full-time employment - If you have returned to full-time work, follow instructions to speak to a customer service representative with the details of your new employment.

IMPORTANT!

IF YOU GET DISCONNECTED OR HANG UP BEFORE THE SYSTEM SAYS, “THANK YOU FOR FILING YOUR CLAIM OVER THE PHONE,” YOU WILL HAVE TO CALL AGAIN TO FILE YOUR CLAIM.

Self-employment - If you began working in self-employment that you have not already reported to the CTDOL, follow instructions given by the system to speak to a customer service representative.

Part-time employment - If you began a part-time job or are continuing to work in at least one part-time job (including self-employment that you have already reported to the CTDOL, you will be required to answer the following questions about your employment. Make sure you have the name and address of the employer(s) you worked for during the week ending last Saturday, the hours and minutes you worked, and the wages you earned (before deductions).

DO NOT DELAY FILING YOUR CLAIM if you do not know how much you earned in part-time employment. You should file your claim for the previous week by Friday whether or not you have your earnings information. Call a customer service representative as soon as you receive the wage information. If you are unable to provide all of the employment

information, your claim will post with the answers to the first seven questions, but no employment information will post and YOUR CLAIM WILL BE HELD UNTIL THIS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED.

8. After the tone, please clearly speak the complete name of the first or

only employer that you worked for during the week ending last Saturday. (If you worked for more than one employer, the system will give you the opportunity to provide information about additional employers

after you’ve finished providing information about the first one.)

8a. After the tone, please clearly speak the complete address (including the number and street, the city, state and the five or nine digit zip code) of the first or only employer you worked for during the week ending last Saturday.

8b. For the first or only employer that you worked for during the week ending last Saturday, please enter (or say - for rotary phone callers) the number of hours and minutes you worked during the week ending last Saturday. First, enter (or may) the number of hours you worked; then, enter (or say) the number of minutes you worked. If you only worked an even number of hours without any minutes, you must enter (or say) “zero.”

8c. Please enter the gross wages you earned from this first or only employer (before deductions) even if you have not yet been paid for the week ending last Saturday. Please press (or say - for rotary phone callers) the total amount of dollars and cents all at once. The last two digits you enter are the cents. For example, if you earned $120.75, you would press (or say)

1,2,0,7,5. If you earned $25.00, you would press (or say) 2,5,0,0.

8d. During the week ending last Saturday, did you work for more than one employer? (If you have more than one employer, you will be asked for the same information for each employer up to three employers. If you have more than three employers in a week, you will need to speak to a customer service representative to provide this information.)

To get the answer to this question, select option “2” by pressing or saying “2” on your phone. You will be asked to enter your social security number and PIN first. The TeleBenefits Line will then tell you which week your last check covered (as long as it was processed within the last 30 days), when your check was paid, and your current remaining account balance. If payment was not made, the system will tell you why. You may also get the answer to this question AND view your benefit payment history on the Internet. For more information see our website at www.ct.gov/dol.

After pressing (or saying) “3” from the main menu choices, you will be asked to enter your social security and personal identification numbers. If this is your first time filing an initial claim for unemployment benefits, or if you last filed a claim more than a year ago, the system will normally ask you a series of 20 questions. Following the 20 questions, you will speak to a customer service representative who will gather additional information from you.

If you are unable to answer any of the automated questions or are not sure you gave the correct answer, you will be assisted by a customer service representative later in the call. If you hang up before answering all of the questions, you must call back within seven days to resume filing
