What happens if I move out of New Jersey while receiving unemployment benefits?

If you move out of New Jersey while receiving unemployment benefits, your eligibility may be affected. The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development requires that you are able and available to work in the state to continue receiving benefits. Moving out of state may impact your ability to actively search for employment, attend job interviews, or participate in mandatory reemployment services provided by NJ Unemployment. However, each case is unique, and it is best to contact NJ Unemployment directly to discuss your individual circumstances. They will be able to provide more specific guidance and advise you on any necessary steps to maintain your benefits while living out of state.
