Connecticut Statute on Mortgage Foreclosure on Unemployed Workers

If you are unemployed or underemployed and at risk of foreclosure there is a program that can be of help. If the home that is at risk of foreclosure has been your primary residence for at least two years, you have not had any foreclosure actions or emergency mortgage assistance in the last seven years, and you are not currently receiving emergency mortgage assistance. If you are currently working, to be considered as unemployed your income during the previous 12 months must have been $50,000 or less or less than 75% of your average income.

The foreclosure judge will decide if you are eligible to stop foreclosure under this program. If so, the court will restructure your mortgage so that your mortgage arrearage can be repositioned to the back of the loan within six months. The court may ask you to pay the lender up to 25% of your net income per month. If you are able to maintain your new, restructured loan for three months, then the house foreclosure action will be dismissed.
