Connecticut residents collecting unemployment will once again have to demonstrate they are actively looking for work to keep their benefits, the state Department of Labor announced Thursday. Labor Commissioner Kurt Westby said the work search requirement will come back into effect May 30, as part of the state’s economic reopening. “Now that the vaccine is widely available and we have public health guidance in place to reduce the infection rate, many residents are heading back to work,” Westby said. “We’ve seen a steady decline in both the number of people filing for weekly benefits and the unemployment rate — good news for businesses and the economy. Reinstating work search requirements will support the state’s ongoing recovery and reopening efforts.”
