If you are a former federal civilian employee, you may use your federal wages to file an unemployment claim for any of these reasons:
- You earned your federal wages during the base period used on your Connecticut claim.
- Your last federal employment was in Connecticut, or you earned other wages in Connecticut during the Connecticut base period.
- You live in Connecticut, but your last federal employment was outside the 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands.
