unemployment extended benefits (file, claim, state, biweekly)

[keithchambers0904]

So I've been claiming my extended benefits for 3 weeks now in nj and wen I went to file online on sunday and they told me (online) to call on the phone and claim so I called to claim my benefits they told me on the phone that wasn't my day to claim call tuesday so I call this morning to claim and they now say this isn't my week to claim I'm not understanding do I now have to claim bi weekly even if I've been claiming weekly for the last 6 months?

Sounds like NJ may have gone back to biweekly. You're the first one reporting this issue. Checking their website, all references are now biweekly claiming. At one time, the site had a statement encouraging people to claim weekly online. Might be cash flow or end of year issues - possibly only relating to EUC??? You might want to place another call and ask if they've changed their procedure.

Let us know.
