Filing for my last EB check and have already exhausted all Tiers (record, work)

[Rama]

So I am filing for my last EB check next week and have already exhausted all Tiers available. I live in NJ. Here is my question. Should I continue to record my job searches in case another tier or extended weeks get added? Also, will my last check say benefits exhausted and then I just don't do anything as far as reporting unemployment and just wait and see if I still can't find work if the extend for the 99ers?

Its hard to get some answers here lol. But i would call my local unemployment office and get some answers there. Unfortunately in my case they just confused the hell out of me and in what i "thought" i knew of how the process works. lol If NJ teleserve is anything like Illinois you could call and check your account balance over the phone to see exactly when your amount runs out. Good luck buddy.

You can keep a record of your job searches for your own reference, but any Tier V or additional weeks of federal unemployment benefits for 99ers (or those who have otherwise exhausted all the UI benefits available to them) that may be enacted in the future will not be retroactive.

Retroactive benefits are only paid to people who continue to certify in the UI system. Once you have exhausted all available benefits, the NJ UI system will not allow you to continue to certify.

If additional UI benefits are legislated, the state will review its records at that time and contact those people who may be eligible. Or they will publicize the opportunity to re-register for benefits.

There is nothing more you need to or can do with the UI system when you have exhausted the last of your NJ benefits.
