The $600 payments will be in effect from March 29 through July 25. Those who received benefits since March 29 without the additional $600 will be provided the funds in a lump sum that will be given in about a week. All unemployment claims will be paid retroactively to the date they were filed. The same applies to the $600 federal stimulus funds. On Thursday, the Connecticut Department of Labor said they had processed 80% of claims. The agency said it’s on track to reduce the processing time to one week from six by Sunday, thanks to technology improvements and increased staffing.
