    The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development — New jersey unemployment department

    I have been trying to file a claim for unemployment with nj unemployement since 1/24/21. Each time I try to submit the application online I get a message that my identity can not be authenticated.
    I tried to contact the office and each time the same message is played do to high call volume we can answer your call.
    Since lexisnexis is used to verify the identity of all applicants, I called them and they said I was verified that nj unemployment is blocking people from applying.

      Hello my name is Scott Rann and I live in Somerset, NJ. On October 17th, my benefits were exhausted from my unemployment claim. I was told to wait for information regarding applying for PEUC. I haven't received a notice and in 126 days, I have been able to phone through to one person, who told me they didn't have the ability to help. Please assist!

        The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development — unemployment insurance

        filed my unemployment on 12/20/2020, i was approved and awarded a WBA of $446.00 with a balance of over $11, 250.00 in my account.
        when i log on to claim weekly benefits the site says "error" the claim ended on 12/20/2020 and that i have to file a new claim. if i file a new claim, it says "error" you have an active account, please file for weekly benefits on your designated scheduled time.
        MY COMPLAINT IS THIS.
        for 8 weeks i have been trying to get through to someone to correct the "glitch" that will take 2 minutes, but it is impossible to do so.
        i have left message on the chat message board, the response says i will receive an email or regular mail message regarding my problem. NO MESSAGE EVER COMES. I HAVE SENT DOZENS OF EMAIL, WITH NO RESPONSE. I HAVE SAT ON THE PHONE FOR HOURS PER DAY, ONLY TO BE TOLD TO CALL TOMORROW AFTER 1.5 HOURS ON HOLD AND PUTTING IN INFO REPEATEDLY. I HAVE SENT HARD COPY LETTTERS IN THE MAIL, AND EVEN CONTACTED GOVENOR MURPHY'S OFFICE MORE THEN SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESPONSE FORM ANYONE AT ALL.
        YOU SHOULD ALL BE A SHAMED OF YOURSELVES, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.
        MY WIFE HAS LOST HER BUSINESS DUE TO LOCKDOWNS AND CLOSURES AND NOW I GET LAID OFF BUT CAN'T EVEN GET MY OWN MONEY! THE STATE OF NJ IS JUST INHUMAIN!!! AT 60 YEARS OLD MY WIFE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BORROW FROM FAMILY TO EAT OR CASH OUT OUR RETIREMENT EARLY TO LIVE. WHAT DO WE DO IN 5 YEARS WHEN WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RETIRE AND HAVE NOTHING?
        I HAVE SPENT 8 WEEKS TRYING TO GET BENEFITS THAT ARE ALREADY APPROVED AND SITTING THERE, WHILE MY CARS ARE ABOUT TO GET REPOSESSED! SHAME ON YOU NJ.
        I DO NOT KNOW IF YOU ARE EVEN THE OFFICE I SHOULD COMPLAIN TO HOWEVER UNEMPLOYMENT SITE DOES NOT HAVE A DIRECT COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT OR NUMBER, AND NO ONE ELSE THAT I HAVE CONTACTED HAS RESPONDED.
        THANK YOU ALL THE SAME,
        A VERY UNHAPPEN NJ RESIDENT

              The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development — Division of Unemployment Insurance

              I was receiving unemployment insurance up until the week ending 8/29/20, in which the initial 26-week claim had expired. I never received the automatic extension and have been waiting ever since. After continuously calling day after day, all day long, I finally spoke with a rep who told me my case would be escalated to a special department for further assistance. That was around mid October, 3 months later no word. Finally got in contact with a rep on 1/20/21 and was told I had to file a new claim online, which did not go through due to "identity verification" issues. Not sure what the issue is since all my information is exactly the same from my previous claim. I'm now being told that my claim will be escalating to a special department once again and the processing time may take up to 8 weeks, which would mean it's been 7 months since I received any payment. I understand we are in a pandemic and the system and workers are overwhelmed, but this is completely unacceptable. At this point I'm not sure who to turn to, who do I need to contact to get remedy?

                  The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development — Unemployment benefits

                  Hello,
                  I was scheduled for a phone appointment with NJ Dept of Labor Unemployment at 10:40 am today. They called me and I answered the phone, and the fellow on the line asked if he could transfer me to another line and I said okay. When he did, it was a fax line which was giving out a loud fax transmission signal. I stayed on the line regardless figuring he would pick it up but he didn't and it then went to a fast busy signal and hung up.

                  Therefore, I never got to speak to him and don't know what the outcome of my eligibillity for benefits is. My claimant id no is [protected]. In addition, I need to speak to someone because I am receiving way less than my weekly income was before the layoff due to Covid19.

                  Please help me to correct this. My phone number is [protected].

                  Thank you
