                         SECTION D - VOLUNTARY WITHHOLDING OF INCOME TAX FROM 
                                                 UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

 Benefits are taxable - Any unemployment benefits you receive are fully taxable as income by the IRS and 
 the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services,  PROVIDED YOU ARE REQUIRED TO FILE A TAX 
 RETURN. 
 
 #  You may voluntarily have taxes withheld for Federal and Connecticut income taxes. 
 
 #  The Internal Revenue Service has set the amount to be withheld at 10%, rounded to the nearest whole 
    dollar, of your total weekly unemployment benefit payment. 
 
 #  Connecticut has set the amount to be withheld for Connecticut income tax at 3%, rounded to the nearest 
    whole dollar, of your unemployment benefit payment. State law requires that the choice to withhold 
    applies to both taxes, not one or the other. 
 
 #  You may elect to have the Department of Labor deduct these withholdings and forward them to the 
    appropriate tax agency.  Or, if you do not want taxes withheld right away, you can contact the Call Center 
    any time during your benefit year to begin having taxes withheld with the first payment issued to you after 
    your request has been processed. If you elect to have taxes withheld, you may change your election 
    during your benefit year. The Department of Labor CANNOT REFUND any taxes withheld. Refunds will 
    have to be resolved with the tax agency. 
 
 #  Any legally-required reductions in your weekly benefit amount, such as part-time earnings, retirement 
    payments, severance or vacation pay, offsets of prior unemployment payments, or child support intercept 
    payments (CSI), will be taken from your weekly benefits PRIOR to any voluntary tax withholding. The 
    amount of the CSI deduction or overpayment offset will be considered part of the weekly payment against 
    which the tax withholding amounts are calculated. Listed below are examples of withholding deductions.
