State law bars using a paycheck itself as security for a loan.
What a Cash Advance Costs in Connecticut
Connecticut restricts short-term lending by prohibiting wage assignment — a lender can't take a claim on your future paycheck as collateral for a cash advance.

That structural limit is one of the key reasons traditional storefront payday-style advances haven't taken hold the way they have elsewhere.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Wage assignment | Prohibited |
| Effect | Limits traditional cash-advance structures |
