My original claim from January ends in three weeks-do i need to reopen a new claim or will the 13 weeks just start automatically?
I have 5 kids 4 under 8year and cannot read through this thread for the answer lol
I just want to be prepared with the correct steps once my initial claim ends.
Thank you

This is the original information posted 6 weeks ago from NJ DOL. Which of these scenarios are you in?
FROM NJ DOL:
Are you currently receiving or have applied for unemployment benefits? If yes, no action is required. The 13-week extension will be automatically available to you after your current balance is exhausted. Otherwise, read the scenarios below:
What do I need to do to access the 13-week extension of benefits under the CARES Act?
Do any of these describe you?
SCENARIO A:
Do these describe you?
On a date after July 8, 2018, I filed for unemployment.
I have not worked since the dates in 2018-2020 when I collected unemployment.
I have exhausted my balance OR my benefit year ended on my most recent claim.
If this describes you, WAIT for notification
from NJ Department of Labor before you certify for benefits.

SCENARIO B:
[note: SCENARIO B DOES NOT really apply to the current Class of "Exhausters"]
Do these describe you?
On a date after July 8, 2018, I filed for unemployment.
I have worked since the dates in 2018-2019 when I collected unemployment.
If both describe you, file a new claim if you haven’t already.

SCENARIO C:
Do these describe you?
On a date after July 1, 2019, I filed for unemployment benefits.
I have NOT utilized all 26 weeks of benefits.
If both describe you, just re-open your claim if currently closed.
**Begin certifying for benefits again.**
