Has your business or nonprofit been affected by federal actions?

Businesses and nonprofits that have been impacted by recent actions from the federal government are being asked to report that information to the state so that it can be compiled into a central database and provide state policymakers with a better understanding of how these directives are affecting various groups, geographical regions, and sectors of the economy.

To facilitate this reporting, the state has launched an online reporting tool that can be accessed by visiting ct.gov/fedimpact. Users will need to create a login and then will be prompted with a series of questions to report any impacts they may be experiencing. 

Examples of items that are encouraged to be reported include pauses, cancelations, and reductions in federal funding, reductions in employment, and impacts from tariffs. 

The information collected will be shared with the relevant state agencies, which will utilize this data to help inform the state’s response as these directives from the federal government continue to be made.

Any information submitted through this reporting tool should be considered public information and may be released by the state to interested parties. This reporting tool serves only to ensure situational awareness to state officials, and no commitments of state action in response to these issues is expressed or implied.
