It's a quirk of NJ law. We've been through it on this site. Many states let you quit a job for a new one, and still get UI when it's very short term. Unfortunately, NJ is not one of them. |
Yes, this is true, per this:

On the back of the letter is says - Note: For separation purposes occuring prior to 7/1/10, individuals are required to work only 4 weeks and earn six times the weekly benefit rate.

NJ changed its law in 2010 and now requires you be employed at your new job for at least eight weeks if you've quit your previous job. It is
not a misconduct penalty.
