Christie
Administration Announces Disaster Unemployment Assistance
Application Deadline Extended to February
Governor Chris Christie and the U. S.
Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) announce that New Jersey residents
in all 21 counties will have until February 4, 2013 to apply
for coverage under the federal Disaster Unemployment
Assistance program as a result of damages caused by
Hurricane Sandy.
The order establishes one deadline date, February 4, 2013,
for New Jersey residents to seek coverage under the federal
Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program and extends
the timeline within which people may file a claim. The
program covers people in all 21 New Jersey counties,
especially self-employed individuals, who were left
unemployed as a direct result of the storm and who may not
be covered by regular Unemployment Insurance.
Most impacted workers may already qualify for regular
Unemployment Insurance, which is why anyone who plans to
file a DUA claim should first file a regular claim for
Unemployment Insurance. The federal DUA is a special program
that covers many people who otherwise may not be eligible
for regular Unemployment Insurance.
If you are unemployed or were left temporarily unemployed
because of the disaster that began on Oct. 28, you should
FIRST file for Unemployment Insurance benefits through the
Internet by going to www.njuifile.net. Please note that due
to higher than normal volume as a result of Hurricane Sandy,
the system is experiencing some delays. As a result,
individuals are encouraged to file via the Internet between
6 P.M. and 8 A.M.
The Internet processes claims faster. However, if needed,
people may also file a claim by telephone by contacting the
state Department of Labor and Workforce Development’s
Re-employment Call Centers at:
North Jersey (201) 601-4100
Central Jersey (732) 761-2020
South Jersey (856) 507-2340
Out of State (888) 795-6672
