I currently live in nj, though my employer recognizes my address as being in the bronx (they're slow to process the change, which took place six months ago) and the office is in manhattan, ny. In june, they will be moving pretty deep into brooklyn and my commute (by public transportation) from either my address in nj or in the bronx will be over 90 minutes. Driving without traffic would take at least an hour. It's by far too long of a commute, and ive been with the company about 2 years.
Is this something that I would qualify for unemployment for? And which state do I claim it from? So confusing!

You claim unemployment benefits from the state in which you worked -- not the state in which you reside.
But I have to agree with seain dublin -- it's highly unlikely that New York UI will grant you benefits if your reason for quitting is a longer commute in what is still considered to be the New York metropolitan area.
When you file taxes, you can claim a deduction of $2,500 for moving due to new work requirements. Your new address must be AT LEAST 50 miles from your current home.
