Connecticut is offering a $1,000 hiring bonus to entice people who have been on unemployment for 12 weeks or longer to rejoin the workforce
The Lamont administration’s program will give $1,000 to people who have been on long-term unemployment after they get a job and hold that position for at least eight weeks. The program will give bonuses to 10,000 people and will be paid for using federal funds from the CARES Act, which was approved by Congress last year.
Connecticut’s approach, put in place by a Democratic governor, stands in contrast to other efforts in Republican-led states like Tennessee, South Carolina and Missisissipi, of enhanced federal Covid-19 pandemic unemployment payments. Officials there say the additional weekly cash payment of $300—on top of normal unemployment benefits—is discouraging people from finding work and creating worker shortages.
