"$600 | The $600 is for the first week of eligibility, beginning March 28. Payments arrived just a few days after the regular UI payment for that same week. On this timeline, the last week of eligibility would be the last week of July... (cont'd) ...Only one employment insurance week has been paid since this program went into effect. It is not possible for anyone to receive more than this $600 yet."
This was posted on the NJ DOL twitter yesterday. So it's clear that we should be looking at 2x$600, one for 3/29-4/4 and another for 4/5-4/11. And after the weekend, another for 4/12-4/18. So for those of us that already received one $600 payment, we should still be looking at another, or two more once we pass Saturday 4/18 and the week ends. It's extremely ambiguous about when people will receive their payments, or when we will get the second week - "it is not possible for anyone to receive more than this $600 yet." What does that gibberish even mean?
It could be true what Skipito said, that the $600 that some of us got (I did) on Monday 4/13 was in fact, for week 4/5-4/11. And if we receive another on Monday 4/20, I guess it could be said that would correlate to this week 4/12-4/18, with week 3/29-4/4 still being in arrears. Whether you look at it like that, or you look at it chronologically as Mon 4/13's payment being for week 3/29-4/4, it's clear to me that NJ is being purposely vague with the wording of all of this.
Hedging their bets, less said less words to hang themselves with.. Just get the damn PEUC extension stuff in place... maybe next week for that... or the following.......
I thought the same thing, When the woman called me on 4/13 she said she was releasing two weeks unemployment pay that I was owed, plus I could file for this week which I did, and then she mentioned I would be receiving 600 that was owed to me from the week of 4/4, so I shouldve had two payments of 600, that week and this weeks. but nothing
Are people saying we got sent another $600 or are you talking about something else?
If you havent received a 600 dollar payment from unemployment, and you've been receiving benefits since before the week of 4/4, your entitled to that weeks payment and this weeks, so 1200 dollars total, I have not received my first 600 dollars, I recieved my stimulus check and the two weeks back pay I was owed by unemployment, and this weeks, however the woman on the phone said I would also be receiving my first weeks (4/4) payment of 600 too.
Lets face it.... The system is having some issues now, but we all should know what we are entitled to - just read your state's DUA home page, and check the start date.
Good luck folks.
