Just found out that NJ no longer is eligible for long-term unemployment.

My benefits now run out first week in July.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Don't you have an amount allocated? rocktivity Jun 2012 #1

I don't know. Seems that the reason is something about NJ not being unemployed enough. no_hypocrisy Jun 2012 #2

I haven't seen a change in my allocation rocktivity Jul 2012 #5

It appears that any money that's already been allocated to you can still be applied for rocktivity Jul 2012 #4

Can you tell me where to go to verify this? no_hypocrisy Jul 2012 #6

They can just wipe it out? And where would it go -- back to the Fed or to the NJ coffers?

So I don't believe anyone will be getting kicked off sooner than they were scheduled to -- whew!

Is there a link or a website? The NJ DOL still maintains the benefits have ended July 7. How do you apply for the "rest" of your money?

If the money turns up in my bank account this weekend, I'll know for sure, I guess.

Doesn't necessarily mean that I'll be able to file again in two weeks.

Do you have a source that says that we can continue to get extended benefits notwithstanding this:
