Department of Labor & Workforce Development – State of New Jersey

FEDERAL UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS: A new federal relief package provides additional unemployment benefits to workers. NJ workers currently claiming federal benefits (PUA or PEUC) will receive the new benefits without delay, and should continue to certify weekly. Anyone who exhausts those benefits on or after Dec. 26, 2020 will see a gap in payments while we reprogram our systems to add the 11-week extension. These claimants should wait for notification from NJDOL before resuming weekly certification.  NJDOL has reprogrammed its systems and is administering the new $300 FPUC weekly benefit.
