There are only two days left before Connecticut workers receive a payment worth up to $1,000.
The payments scheduled to go out on Feb. 1 will be paid to over 150,000 workers in the Constitution State, with around 120,000 of these workers getting paid via direct deposit. The remaining 35,000 workers will be paid with a paper check within the next five to six weeks, according to the Connecticut Mirror.
“During times of difficult uncertainty, Connecticut’s front-line workers stepped up and kept our grocery stores open, our hospitals operational, our communities safe and so much more,” said state Comptroller Sean Scanlon. “They were essential to getting us through the pandemic, and this payment is just one small way we can thank them. By providing some relief, we can show how grateful we are to our heroes.
In order to have been eligible for this payment, applicants must have met a series of prerequisites, including having worked as an essential worker in Connecticut between March 10, 2020, and May 7, 2022, being unable to work from home, having worked in the private sector, and earned $149,999 or less.Additionally, applicants must have worked in a position that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sorted into two categories: 1A and 1B.
This payment was originally announced in August 2022 under the previous state comptroller, Natalie Braswell. Applications for this payment were accepted until Oct. 1 of last year.
