To be classified as a small employer in Connecticut, how many eligible employees must an employer have?

In Connecticut, a small employer is defined as one that has between 1 and 50 eligible employees. This classification is essential for determining eligibility for certain health insurance programs and benefits that are specifically tailored for small businesses.

This definition aligns with many state policies that encourage small businesses by providing them with access to health insurance options that may not be as easily available to larger employers. The range of 1 to 50 employees enables a broad spectrum of small businesses to receive support and assistance in managing health insurance costs and options in the marketplace. Other options either underestimate or overestimate the number of eligible employees, thus not fitting the recognized small employer definition in this context.
