The Connecticut Department of Labor (DOL) solicits applications for the certification of existing
and proposed Individual Development Account programs consistent with criteria established by
DOL under the authority of CGS 8-336p(e)(2) and CGS 31-51ww through 31-51eee, inclusive,
and the regulations, sections 31-51ddd-1 to 31-51ddd-16, promulgated thereunder. Additionally,
this solicitation collects proposals for funding under the same statutory authority. In order to be
eligible for funding, an applicants IDA program must have been certified under the criteria
established by DOL and defined in the solicitation. To the extent possible, the funded programs
will be geographically distributed across the state. To reduce the administrative burden on
applicants, DOL will use this same document to solicit applications for the certification of IDA
programs.
