Nj Unemployment-What week are we claiming for this week? (payment, record, certification)

[JLW1280]

Im confused since they changed the schedule again-
Went from claiming on Sundays to
Mondays to
Tuesdays to
Wednesdays and now to
Thursdays-which put my payments into the following week on monday--

So which week are we claiming this week so I can start keeping better records

TIA-
Sincerely
super annoyed

it's always for the week ending the prior Saturday regardless of what day you certify during the following week (Sunday through Saturday). So if you claimed last week for week ending 5/2 when you certify this Thursday it should be for week ending 5/9. It also should show in your online account what week(s) are payable. Not everyone's weeks that they are claiming will be the same since some people have been and or able to claim back weeks since they've had pending claims and if that's they case I've read that it will have a button at the bottom that says claim an additional week (or words to that effect).

What is beyond me is the fact that they have pushed the makeup window back to Saturday. I missed my first timeslot yesterday and got locked out of my account from hitting the back button by accident on my second timeslot yesterday, so now I have to wait until Saturday to fix it - which potentially throws off the $600 next week as well. And I know of no way to get around the SSN script now - it seems they've fixed every backdoor into the actual certification form.

There should be a half hour makeup window everyday, tbh.
