You will have 10 days to log in and complete the questionnaire from date of mailing showed on the form.

Beginning in August 2021, NJ Unemployment has introduced a new way for employers to respond online instead of by mail. This new process will result in faster determinations and more accurate charges to your experience rating account.

If you received a letter in the mail that is directing you to fill out a form online, then you will have 10 days to log in and respond to the questionnaire. This response will count as your fact finding, and we will only contact you if additional information is needed.

The form titled “Request for Monetary Information” (BC2) will gather information on earned income that may be used to establish a valid claim. The forms titled “Request for Separation Information” (BC28) and “Monetary with Separation Request” (BC3E) will gather information on separation, payment after the last day of work, and retirement pay received.

The form titled “Request for Monetary Information” (BC2) will require a separate log in from the forms “Request for Separation Information” (BC28) and “Monetary with Separation Request” (BC3E), therefore if you need to fill out multiple forms you will have to create 2 separate accounts (one under each link). You are welcome to use the same email address for both accounts.

Once you create an account, you can continue to use that log in information for any NJ unemployment claimant form you need to fill out in the future.

Note: There is no limit to the number of users each company can add.

For claimants that have an email address on file with the Division, we will send a secure link that will take them to an online application where they’ll be asked to give us information about their claim. This e-adjudication process will replace scheduled claims examiner appointments (or fact-finding hearings) and allow for a more efficient way of processing the unemployment claim.  Instead of having to wait weeks for a scheduled claims examiner appointment, an email questionnaire will be sent within days of filing a claim. 

Once a claimant completes the online questionnaire, the response is immediately routed to a claims examiner to process. At that point, the claims examiner may contact you if more separation information is needed before the claims examiner can make a determination about eligibility. There may be instances when a claims examiner contacts you earlier in the claims process than you are used to, because they do not have to wait to schedule a fact-finding hearing by phone. 

If you are contacted by a claims examiner and are not prepared to provide any requested information, let the examiner know you need more time to respond. Our claims examiners will work with you to establish a mutually agreed upon response time if needed. Scheduled telephone fact-finding hearings will continue for claimants who apply by phone and do not provide an email address. For those claims, you will continue to receive appointment notices for the hearings.

As long as you respond electronically through the link on this page, the claims examiner received your full statement and will not need to call you (even if there is a scheduled phone appointment) unless additional details are needed.
