New Jersey is no longer eligible for a state extension on jobless benefits after its three-month average unemployment rate fell below 8%, state labor officials announced on April 22.
The change will not mean a loss in benefits, nor will claimants have to do anything different, assured officials at the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
That’s because of a federal program that runs through Sept. 4 called the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program.
This state program, known as the High Extended Benefits, offers another seven weeks of benefits so that New Jerseyans out of work can get an added 20 weeks instead of 13 weeks.
