If you reopen it before Saturday of the last week worked.. meaning you work on Friday and reopen the claim the next day on Saturday that means the reopen date would date it back to Sunday of the week that you worked, meaning the next payable week would be for the week that you worked and then you're back to square one when you go to claim that week (because it will be FT hrs and/or earnings over the PWBR).

You reopen it on the Sunday (2 days after your last day of working on Friday). This will make the reopened date be Sunday of the first week that you will have no earnings. then when you go to claim that week it will be a week of no earnings, not the week of FT work/earnings

no her claim turned off as it should have when she reported FT hrs/earnings. She likely reopened it when she went back in to claim those two weeks 5 months later. that's why I'm advising you to report the first week of earnings and force the claim to turn off so it will allow you to reopen it two weeks later.

It was a few months ago, so she might have logged on to NJ DOL first and when she tried to open a claim it re-opened her old claim and then she likely certified those two weeks she didn't work, and then the third week she reported earnings and it went back to "you returned to work". So I believe scraprsmith is correct.

What were your benefits like for those of you who were collecting then got a temp job and had to start a new claim? Less?

Asking for a friend here in CT. They had to start a new claim after collecting for 1yr due to Covid. She started a temp job that lasted 4 weeks making just as much so benefits were $0.

When starting a new claim they asked for 6 month wage from job obviously only had 1 month worth.. so will unemployment benefits be much less now ?

I worked some sporadically last year and when my benefit year ended in October they opened a new claim for me. It was $125 less than I had been collecting. They go by what you earned in your base year, which is not the same as a calendar year.
