Unemployment - worked part time, but haven't been paid, how do I report to unemployement? (claim, payment)

[KGHartman]

I know this question's been asked before, but the threads are old.

I'm on unemployment. I worked two days this week, but haven't been paid yet. Do I report the hours, and wages as earned this week or wait until I actually get paid?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing you can do. You MUST report your work/gross earnings when you work on the UE claim form for that week. The fact that you have to wait two weeks to get paid these earnings is of absolutely no consequence and unrelated to your unemployment benefits. You will need to find another way until you get paid.

She must report gross earnings (before deductions) on her claim form the week she works the hours.

NJ discusses partial benefit payments, here:

Department of Labor and Workforce Development | Requirements for Payment <br> Report Part-Time Earnings

Doesn't matter which state you are in - GROSS earnings are reported for the week you actually work the hours.

Thank you from Texas. The office manager at this particular business was a real piece of work. I say good luck to the owners keeping a support staff for more than a few days!

It goes by the week you worked, not when you get your paycheck.
