N.J. unemployment: $300 delayed due to processing error, Labor Department says Updated May 10, 2021; New Jersey workers who didn’t receive the supplemental $300 payment should expect to receive it by Tuesday, the Department of Labor said. The Labor Department said there was a “processing delay” for claimants receiving Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation payments — the supplemental checks distributed with unemployment benefits. “We are working with our partners at the Office of Information Technology and Bank of America, and deposits that have not yet come through will post to accounts tomorrow,” spokesman Thomas Wright said. FPUC payments are funded through September 4 as part of the American Rescue Plan, the federal stimulus package. It’s available to anyone collecting unemployment benefits.
