75,000 in NJ unemployment limbo could get paid next week
TRENTON Nearly 75,000 state residents have been cut off from unemployment benefits that they re due. But state officials say they should start getting payments by next Friday.
Gov. Phil Murphy and Labor Commissioner Rob Asaro-Angelo on Friday acknowledged what news organizations across the state, including New Jersey 101.5, have been reporting that thousands of families have stretched to the financial limit, unsure when their next check would arrive.
Asaro-Angelo blamed former President Donald Trump for waiting until the last moment to sign the law extending federal benefits, leaving states to scramble to update their systems and wait on clarification on new rules.
