We understand how frustrating this time is, especially with states quickly interpreting & implementing new federal laws/processes. We want to offer clarity to some of the FAQs in the comments. Though not the best outlet to tackle specific questions, hopefully it's of some help.

EXTENDED BENEFITS | While help is coming soon, we (and the other states) are waiting for further implementation guidance for this new assistance. We know this is little consolation at such an uncertain time, but we'll issue information to our customers the moment it's available!

SELF-EMPLOYED & ICs | Though it sounds counterintuitive, the first step to getting PUA for self-employed workers is being denied by NJ through our application. DO NOT BE ALARMED WHEN YOU ARE DENIED. This is a federally required part of the process... (cont’d)

...to receive this assistance which is specifically for individuals not eligible for regular UI benefits. The key is to get in our system THEN WHEN you're eligible to apply for PUA, we will notify you. More on the process and a step-by-step guide here: https://bit.ly/3ciYnqB 

$600 | The $600 is for the first week of eligibility, beginning March 28. Payments arrived just a few days after the regular UI payment for that same week. On this timeline, the last week of eligibility would be the last week of July... (cont'd)

...Only one employment insurance week has been paid since this program went into effect. It is not possible for anyone to receive more than this $600 yet.
