NJ is instituting a 7.2% sequester reduction to all EUC to the end of the year.

Department of Labor and Workforce Development | Facts About the Federal EUC Reduction

No idea if sequester will carry forward to 2014 - IF Congress extends EUC into 2014. For now, all federal benefit payments end 12/28/2013 - regardless of balance remaining.

So its what you are getting now minus 7.2%. Thank you.
