How do I report my weekly earnings while receiving unemployment benefits?

Asked a year ago
To report your weekly earnings while receiving unemployment benefits in New Jersey, you must accurately document any income you have earned during the benefit week, including wages, vacation pay, bonuses, or other sources of income. You can do this by certifying for benefits online or by phone on a weekly basis. When certifying, you will be prompted to report your total gross earnings for the week. It is crucial to report these earnings honestly and in a timely manner to avoid potential overpayments or penalties. Failure to accurately report earnings may result in a reduction or denial of benefits. Be sure to review the specific guidelines provided by the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development for reporting earnings while on unemployment.
