47 weeks additional unemployment benefits for 2013, thanks to budget deal
Federal emergency unemployment benefits will be extended until the end
of 2013 thanks to the budget deal signed into law by President Obama
last week.
Since September, the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation
program has offered up to 47 additional weeks of unemployment insurance
for people who have exhausted New Jersey’s 26 weeks of unemployment
benefits.
But EUC was set to expire Dec. 31, absent a budget deal in Congress to avert the so-called “fiscal cliff.” That deal was hammered out Jan. 1, extending EUC for the more than 132,000 unemployed workers collecting the benefits in New Jersey.
Claimants can register for EUC benefits for last week and this week at njuifile.net.
