What if I become unemployed again after already receiving unemployment benefits?

Asked 6 months ago
If you become unemployed again after already receiving unemployment benefits in New Jersey, you may be eligible to reopen your unemployment claim. You can reopen your claim by logging into your online account on the Department of Labor and Workforce Development website or calling the Reemployment Call Center. When you reopen your claim, you must report your updated employment information and certify for benefits just like you did when you first applied. Additionally, you will need to meet the ongoing eligibility requirements to receive further benefits. These requirements include actively seeking suitable employment, being able and available to work, and reporting any job offers or income. It is important to stay informed about the latest regulations and guidelines from the state to ensure you continue to receive unemployment benefits if you become unemployed again.
