CVS Health – Aetna said it will layoff 313 people who report to its building in Hartford.
In a letter to the state Department of Labor, Jennifer Bailey, executive director of Colleague Relations for CVS Health – Aetna, provided a list of impacted positions, and said, “we are writing to inform you that as result of operational changes in CVS Health Aetna’s Small Group business segment the Company will be conducting layoffs” that will impact employees.
Bailey said the employees work remotely, mostly outside of Connecticut, and report into the facility located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford.
“This action is expected to be permanent,” Bailey wrote. “Of the affected employees seventeen (17) reside in Connecticut. Most of the affected employees work from home remotely in a variety of states outside of Connecticut but report into a leader” at the Hartford office.
Bailey noted that the connection to the Hartford office means the company had to let the state know of the layoffs, as “the out stationed/remote employees are treated as “assigned” to that office.
The layoffs as a result of the decision are expected to occur between April 3, 2026 and July 31, 2026, according to Bailey.
“All employees who will be terminated as a result of this action have been notified of their separation dates and that their separation from employment will be permanent,” Bailey wrote.
Bailey also noted she was providing a “listing of the job titles of the positions to be affected, the number of affected employees in each job title, and their expected dates of separation.”
“There are no bumping rights for the affected employees and the employees are not represented by a union,” Bailey wrote.
CVS said in October it would layoff 72 workers after losing a contract for its Aetna Medicare Medicaid Program in 2026, at that time affecting employees that are working remotely in three states — Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky, according to a notice filed recently with the Connecticut labor department.
The majority of those jobs — 44 — were listed as “case manager RN — field” and are located in Ohio. The layoffs are expected to become effective between Dec. 31 and March 31.
Those job cuts also were said to be expected to be permanent. None of the remote workers losing their jobs then were based in Connecticut, but they also did report to managers at Aetna’s headquarters at 151 Farmington Ave. in Hartford.
The new letter to the state, dated, February 4, 2026, was addressed to Susan Fracasso Rapid Response Coordinator Connecticut Department of Labor, Wethersfield.
