Unemployed workers in New Jersey are closer to getting more relief.
The state Legislature has given final approval to a bill that would allow more residents to claim extended unemployment benefits. The bill eases some requirements for those unemployed workers, in order to allow them to claim the 20 week extension after they’ve exhausted their benefits. This bill is now sitting on the governor's desk.
